the first story was kind the funnier of the two and probably the most innocent mistake i have heard from an old lady...basically we are talking about her surname and how people always pronounce it incorrectly and blah blah blah... and then she asks me to say it... "see if you can pronounce it..."
needless to say with my amazing ability of foreign languages i pronounce this little old italiano lady's name correctly. she follows that up with ....
"oh, but you're european... you know how it should be said..."
the second story comes much later in the day when an old man was looking for ... (you guessed it) your ol' pal andre rieu and andre bocelli... anyways.. i take them to the classical section and show them (him and his carer/daughter) where all the dvds are... and just as i am about to walk off... he taps me on my arm and says...
"this isn't you is it???" whilst pointing at this guy....
at first i was in shock and then realised i had to say something because the old fucker thought he made an excellent joke...
"noo... i can't sing that well..." i replied with.. i couldn't think of anything else to say...
techhnically i should have cracked-a-toa and said something back but i thought about the age of this man and the fact he has fought in or possibly seen men killed in either world wars and maybe... just maybe have been kept as a prisoner in some sort of jail ala this...
or this

for some reason i find this mistaken identity funny. perhaps its the headache... normally i'd crack the shits over this stuff too... (love to make stupid comments on everything!)
What about "Changhi"? Unless the old guy was once a young drug-smuggling woman.
It's always difficult to laugh at someone's offensive joke when what you really want to do is punch them in the face.
