I'd put this in the humor forum but I can't. This is pretty funny.

When I was the "magic guy" working at a Comix/Game store in a mall, I had a manager help me understand people that you can't understand.

Just don't look at them.

Turn your head sideways, and say "uh. say again?"

Then, voila!  You can often understand them.

This was sometimes usefull when I was in London in 2000.  Everybody speaks English.  None of them sound the same.  They didn't even speak Monty Python, which I was fluent in.  Turn your head, don't look: It helped.

I also felt like a retard only knowing 1 language: English. American TV English at that. Not 3-4 other languages like every other European I met there.

Look at this: http://forums.macnn.com/89/macnn-lounge/270378/calling-all-grammar-polices/3/

They've explained in an interview that they actually started out with real word. "Kamelåså", for instance, is made up of "kamel" (camel) and "åså" which is sort of like "øse" (ladle.) The word refers to the ladlelike shape between a camel's humps, which again is sort of round. So it's a rather failed attempt at explaining that he wants a new inner tube for his bicycle tire.

This is just great. Makes the thing even funnier.

Actually it lookes like it is not danish at all. It is norwegian. It is from a norwegian channel anyway.
I haven't heard the sound though.
