Line of the Week

The scene: A Thai restaurant in the Leopardstown section of Dublin.
The time: 10PM, after a long night at work.
The players: Me, my co-worker Ernest, and a waiter with a strong and unitelligible Thai/Irish accent.

Ernest and I walk in carrying backpacks. It's pretty obvious we've come straight from work. We get to the table and are about to take our seats.

Waiter: You bawk?

Ernest & Me: Huh?

Waiter: You bawk?

Ernest: Did we walk? No, we took a taxi.

Waiter: (Emphatically) Did you bawk?

Me: Yes, we just came from work.

Waiter: Do you speak English?

Ah... Dublin.
