BUBBA AND BILLY BOB
Bubba and Billy Bob are walking down the street in Atlanta, and they see a sign on a store which reads, "Suits $5.00 each, shirts $2.00 each, trousers $2.50 each."
Bubba says to his pal,
"Billy Bob, look here! We could buy gobs of these, take 'em back to Tuscaloosa, sell 'em to our friends, and make a fortune. Just let me do the talkin' cause if they hear your accent, they might think we're ignorant, and won't wanna sell that stuff to us. Now, I'll talk in a slow Georgia drawl, so's they don't know we is from Alabama."
They go in and Bubba says with his best fake Georgia drawl, "I'll take 50 of them suits at $5.00 each, 100 of them there shirts at $2.00 each, 50 pairs of them there trousers at $2.50 each. I'll back up my pickup and ....."
The owner of the shop interrupts, "Ya'll played football for Bama, didn’t y’all?"
"Well...yeah," says a surprised Bubba...."How come you knowed that?"
"Because this is a dry cleaners."

I lived this story once. On a mission to Bangkok, Thailand from TSN/VN, I was walking down the street and spotted a drop-dead gorgeous silk shirt on a manikin in the window. Not able to read/understand the language, I entered the place and attempted to purchase the shirt. No way for either of us to communicate. I pulled out piaster and baht but was refused. Eventually a young man came in from the back who spoke elementary English. He finally enabled me to understand the business was indeed a dry cleaners. I left somewhat embarrased, but surely wanted that shirt!
