While out with friends not too long ago in a bar on SZR, I was approached by a young lady, with a friend, who appeared eager to strike up a conversation, hello, where are you from she enquired?
Me; The Marina, and you?
She; Ooh I meant which Country? I'm from Brazil!
Me; (Sod it, I thought, I couldn't crack my joke about having to tread water at high tide) Aah, I'm from England, and your friend?
She; She's from Brazil too, her name is Anna and I'm Flora
Me; Aah boa noite Anna and Flora! (Thinking why is she talking to me? I'm old enough to be her father and had the potential to be her Grandfather!)
Anna and Flora; Hehehehehehe boa noite, we work together!
Me; Ooh that's nice, you must be close friends to work and socialise together?
Flora; Yes, we like to party, do you like to party?
Me; (penny dropped), Yeees, of coooourse I like to party, who doesn't?
Flora; OK then, 2,000 for me and 2,000 for her and we can party together!
Me; Ooh, so that's 4,000 in total, 2,000 EACH?
Flora; Yes, OK?
Me; Well, are there any restrictions?
Anna and Flora; What? Resticion, retsisrian?
Me; You know, what exactly do you expect of me for the 4,000 Dirhams?
Anna and Flora; Aaaahh! OK so you decide!
Me; OK then, (holding my hand out for payment) so I want the money up front then and no kissing! OK?
After a most indignant scowl from Anna, they left me and moved on to their next victim, but Flora did eventually see the funny side to our conversation.
@ Zonker, You gave her 200 and got 100 back? WOW! That's bizarre.
