[robbiethepiper]

I was at the watering hole asking about a departed waitress how she was doing ..her chum said she was living in ..Inverness, Fla.

but it came out like : in'foorniss ..sounded like "in furnace"

I got a kick out of that ..

other day I called about a 4x4 ATV somebody was peddlin' ..I said I knew the area she was up north of Sacandaga (in the 70's my granda 'right, fae Aberdeen min ! used to blow gaskets trying to pronounce local Dutch /n Indian name villages ..lakes) 'SCHAGTICOKE' WAS A DEAL BREAKER schnectady was not far behind ..Kayaderosseras Creek put him on the floor !!

she lady asked how I knew area ..so I told her ..well Dad's ma'd a camp up over at Edinburgh [correct Edin-bur'rah] and we'd to drive up each 3 wks to take her grocery shopping 'as she lived spring till fall ..

YEP she murdered it .. y'mean Ed 'n berg ..

just funny I guess .
