“Duas uvas fritas,” I said in my best Portuguese.
The waiter looked like he was holding back a laugh. Maybe he found my pronunciation amusing.
While eating my eggs, I perused my Brazilian phrase book.
My face turned red and hot. Although I received what I wanted for breakfast, I had ordered two fried grapes.

Great story and in 55. We can all thank Galen for making us get to the point.
That would have been an interesting breakfast :-)
Enjoyed that.
I was at the market in my new home in Milan last week and while wanting a fresh fig ~ asked for a vagina. Got the fig and A LOT of laughs from the surrounding vendors. It happens!
My 55 is done and posted here.
Have a great weekend.
