I GOT CONNECTIONS
Giancarlo had come to America, the land of promise and opportunity. After several years of hard work, he had saved enough to bring Mama over.
He installed her in a nice apartment, in a safe building which also housed several European widows of similar age. He made sure she had every comfort, and visited her each day.
After almost a month, he asked if there was anything she lacked. She said, “Yes, I wanna Halo Statue.”
They were good Catholics, but he’d never heard of a Halo Statue.
Impatiently, she mimed picking up a telephone, and said, “Halo, ‘stat you?”

I must see what you’ve written. Nasty old PC had a case of upset stomach last night. I didn’t get to make the rounds as I usually do.

I’d like to suggest he get her set up with an English tutor.☺ Sometimes you need the right word.
One day the Bosnian woman I was tutoring hurried to a hardware store needing a ..a…
Finally she said “toilet” and made plunging motions. The salesman caught on and got her a plunger for their very blocked toilet.
Her son had caught some fish and scaled them into the toilet, not understanding plumbing limitations here.

I don’t think a fictional character needs a real English tutor, however…. A Guyanese/Paki neighbor brought his parents to Canada. Without a Garberator/ garbage disposal, Mom peeled potatoes and onions, and rinsed the skins down the kitchen sink. He had to hire a plumber with a power snake to auger out the plug. 😳

The photo reminds me of men’s rooms here in the States. They place urinals a couple inches from the floor, supposedly for cripples like me. The problem is that (unless you’re a midget — oops, little person) you wind up peeing all over the top of it if you don’t watch what you’re doing.

Places like Wal-Mart seem to have one real-height urinal, and one wayyyy down there for kids. A facility that I used to frequent had a sign above theirs that said, “Stand closer. It’s not as long as you think.” 😯
