ANYWHO -
and I see two people in the elevator w/one being a young man in a white turban w/ short cropped black hair wearing what looked liked white 80's parachute jump pants.
To me,
he just had that look like he was some Prince from overseas.
WAIT!!
It gets better......
So,
me ...........
wanting to continue to be in the Disney frame of mind -
and friendly too........
NOT REALIZNG WHO HE IS.....................
proceeds to strike up a conversation using what Arabic I knew.
HE meanwhile,
throw up his hands frantically & says,
"ENGLISH, ENGLISH!!"
So, dummy me switches languages (back to Engish) with he and I having the most 'funnest' 2 minute elevator conversation I have had in years (couldn't figure out WHY the other person in the elevator was trying sooooooo hard to surpress from laughing).
FLASH FORWARD 6 month later -
......and I FINALLY watch 'that' Disney movie!!
......and slowly realize..........
WEll........
I will let you fill in the blanks!!
MAN..................did I ever feel STOOPID!!
BUT WAIT!! THERE IS MORE!!
#2: March 2010 ABD vacation out to Anaheim
(Disney related)
I asked Goofy one evening how big are his feet (
implying what size shoe does he wear).
He threw back his hands with each out as far as he could, as if to say he caught a fish "this big."
I asked him again, he repeated.
FLASH FORWARD
later on that night at an ABD going away dinner
I asked the cartoonist (who was drawing him for me - my fav Disney character), the same ? since I thought Goofy was telling me "a fish story".....or two.
The cartoonist................
literally looked over her glasses and said to me ...........
(in a P.C. way of course as she said the essense of):
"DUDE.....HE IS A DOG........
THINK ABOUT IT."
