Another Language Barrier Story

When Mr. Richards first moved in, there was some sort of problem with the plumbing. But, I could not tell you what it was, because I have the hardest time understanding him with his thick drawl.

So, I called the plumber and told them to call Mr. Richards. I explained, I just didn't understand him, maybe they could.

"Oh dear. Is he Hispanic? They can be hard to understand," the plumber's office manager knowlingly said.

"No," I replied. "He's Southern."
