He Talked a Load of Sh*t

[Andy M]

The missus and I were walking around a Thai market when this little guy ran up to us, and asked (in Thai) "excuse me please, how do you say shut up in English?"

We told him, and then he ran back to his table. Thinking little of it we carried on buying the vegetables and coconut milk we'd gone there for, only to come upon this guys stand.

It was then that we saw he was teaching himself English, but that some unkind folks had given him the rude versions of normal sayings.
