Tried to order pizza today. Girl at the other end said something like 'Anityullbyeonepurrssonilpyenyandgerlikbreyadnocyokemyam.'
After much blankness figured that she said 'and it'll be one personal pan and garlic bread no coke ma'am.'
Do they teach them to fake an accent even during pizza shop assistant training? Hyelp! Yam nyeverrrr khallinggg damminyos agen.

Then there's the other kind, found not only at Dominos. Where they don't understand you at all, whatever language you speak. And heaven help you if you want toppings.

Kahini

Yeah, they all speak like that- it's a big part of my third book (in progress). And that lucknowi biryani I made is yum, easy to make AND (wonder of wonders-there IS a god!) oil-free. Want the recipe? Got it from a Bong pal who's the most inspired cook on planet earth- and he was born and bred in Lucknow too!

:)) That was funny!

On a similar note, try calling for tech support and getting an Indian call center! :) (Even if the accent on the other end is Indian, they dont give up their fake one!)
