Where and when to speak in tongues To the teller at a drive-up bank. To your waiter at a French, Mexican, or Chinese restaurant. The waiter will be impressed with your international flair. Switch back to English if you want to eat. Party jokes are passe.
Tongues are in.
When answering the phone, especially if you are passing a pay phone that happens to ring as you walk by. On your answering machine. Make it short, then leave a translation in English. On answering machines that tell you to leave a message after the beep. On voice-activated machines you can ramble on for thirty minutes, if you wish.
