Una raccolta di errori di inglese-per-stranieri da rotolarsi sul
pavimento.

 Scusate, ho un paté d'animo
    L'altro giorno ho sentito quello piú clamoroso della mia vita:
    "...quel signore coi gemelli al polso"
    "quelli omozigoti?".
    Ero alla reception di un convegno. Per qualche minuto i nuovi arrivati
non poterono registrarsi perché io, piegato dal ridere, non ero in grado di
accoglierli.
    Ciao,
            Nicola
