I swear, sometimes men are such goofballs! This is such a funny scene to imagine, so vividly painted I can imagine the water dripping.....and almost taste the whiskey after it was all over, and I am sitting here chuckling at boys being boys. But, we love you anyway just the way you are!

Interpreters have a lot of power. They can calm things down or escalate them. And with a lot of interpretations for a single sentence, a lot can happen unintentionally. A very interesting read this is.

If she knew, I'll bet Lady Sharon would not have liked being talked about by a bunch of naked men in a tub.

I am happy you got that sensitive matter settled before any nastiness evolved from your lack of linguistic knowledge

language...it can certainly cause trouble, even when you think you are speaking the same one... this one I see how the misinterpretation must have occurred. I bet you slept well at the end though.

OMG - Hysterical! Made my day, for sure. Glad you didn't bow too low into the tub water. Great, great pleasure reading it! Thanks for "sharing." Loved the ending, a drink was quite appropriate by that time.

This was rich... Nicely done.
Interesting that among grown men of either culture it would have been as much of a fight-starter as on any playground to call a boy "girl." Sounds like there was a lot of well-rounded gentleman in all the crew members.
