The Polish Experience By Nicholas Westerby This ... - GetSab.Com

“The cleaner.”
They all laughed and braced themselves for a shot of vodkas. I was still
struggling to make out their accents but I suppose after a while abroad you lose
that regional twang, as you struggle to make yourself understood by the masses.
I wondered if I was losing my Yorkshire twang.
I remembered that people at university said they couldn’t understand me and
then when I went back to Bradford I got told that I was speaking like a toff.
That could mean anything and nothing in Bradford though. I think I learnt to
balance my speech and actually tailor it to the individual or group I was
speaking to.
They went through another round of jokes and vodkas and when someone
would tell a stinker he had to drink. Clever game. I had run out of my Camels
and threw a joke out at them as I walked passed.
“What’s the worst thing about being a clown?” I said then answered without
missing a beat. “Getting the cum stains out ya costume the next day.”
It was a pretty risky joke but I believe that outrageous can be funny, ridiculous
can be funny, actually everything can be funny with the right build and
circumstances. They must have agreed because they roared with laughter and
invited me to sit down.
