"I am a jelly donut."

Is that even how you spell donut? Agh, it's a weekend. Anyway, that quote has no relevance to anything nor is it the quote of the day, but if you can tell me who said it and where and what language and why it was soooo amusing, we can laugh together.

Anywho, last night the fam and I attended a hooplah/shindig to promote helmet wearing. It was...interesting. Great idea, and I'm sure the speeches were awesome, the only problem was that they happened to be in tieng Viet (Vietnamese). Hehe, I had an amusing time trying to fill in what people might be saying. Here's what I came up with for Ms. Vietnam's speech:

Ms. Vietnam: Wear a helmet kids, no excuses!

Host: Not meaning to be rude miss, but why aren't you wearing a helmet?

Ms. Vietnam: Well you see, the massive amounts of hairspray I apply each day form a sort of protective coating around my skull. I can't be touched, adn I look FABULOUS.

Host: Wow, that sounds great, where can I get some of your hairspray?

Ms. Vietnam: Oh I'm sure they have some left at the same place where I got my hips and breasts. They might even have a few inches left, seeing as I took most of them to contribute to my Amazonian height.

Host: Well, thank you for coming this evening.

Ms. Vietnam: My pleasure, wear helmets kids!


Haha, it was a bit on the dull side.

However, earlier in the day Amanda and I went shopping and it was fun. At one store place, I bought a bag for a cousin and paid with a 500,000 dong bill. Haha, it's not that much in US dollars, but still, it's a big bill. The woman gave me change and I walked away. Amanda and I were nearly half way out of the store when the woman came running after me to say that she had accidentally short-changed me. She handed me 100,000 apologizing profusely. I assured her it was okay, and then thanked her.

It's so neat though. Here, you either get people who want to rip you off and take your money, or you get brutally honest. It's a neat juxtaposition.
