Someone actually said this to my dad when he was stationed in England.

At first he was like

But then they clarified things a bit and he got another interesting lesson in how England and America are two countries separated by a common language.

He also found out right quick after arriving that calling someone a "booger" was not quite the same thing in London as it was back home.

Actually tea is properly served the Southern way.....

Sweetened and Ice Cold.

However - I do like a spot of sweet Earl Gray, piping hot - on occasion.

(Unsweetened tea - I mean - whats the point???)

I once was sharing the 'differences' with some people I worked with, when one woman asked me a question. She said she and her husband had been on a cruise ship and some English travellers suddenly gave her a strange look. She was still trying to figure out what she'd said to offend them, so she innocently asked me:

"Do you know what 'bugger' means?"

This is where you break out the "Well, you see, when two men love each other very much..." speech.

I believe that's called an "Arnold Palmer". It is good stuff, indeed.

Yes Arizona Ice Tea markets it with Arnold Palmer's likeness, and at .99 cents for a big 24 oz can you can't go wrong on a hot day.

But you can make it at home too with Kool Aid packets and ice tea mixed together. I like to use the unsweetened ice tea mix and add a splenda knock off for sweeting.

EDIT: I'm still waiting for someone here to post: "Tea, Earl Gray, Hot".

No, I just casually said something about doing it the way the gay boys do it...

I've seen women blush before, but never quite that color. I would describe it as "tomato red".
