"You'll be surprised at how far a little Vietnamese will go."
On what? A ham sandwich?
It actually reminds me of another scene from yesterday. One of Edwina's tales of derring-doo ended with:
"... and then all the little Vietnamese seemed quite OK with it ..." or something like that.
Me: "Little Vietnamese? Little, eh?
- "Well yes haven't you looked around?" [Stands up, flattens her hand and raises it to chin level] "Most of them probably only come up to here."
"Yes but the term is a bit condescending. I was hoping you'd stop using it, not explain it further with science."
It reminds me of a few days ago when I was saying how annoying I found one of the Russians we're working with. She started shaking her body going "Yes, it does get annoying doesn't it?" to which I replied "It's not his Parkinson's that I find annoying, it's his attitude."
"OK but it is annoying too, right?"
-- "No. Please stop doing that. It's not funny."
"OK. Fair enough."
