    They get annoyed if you pretend to understand and nod when you clearly do not. I once had someone with a broad Glaswegian accent ask me something on the street and I think I literally had him repeat himself a half-dozen times before I finally got it.

    Too logical. They captured a live 'Upkeep' bouncing bomb (technically a mine, but still) from a crashed Lancaster in 1943, called it 'Kurt' but couldn't get it to bounce. Never thought to back-spin it see.....

    Good card players!!!
