A conversation I just had with Kana, who works in the child welfare department of the board of education and who enjoys English very much:

Kana: "Hello?"
Me: "Hi, how are you?"
Kana: "Fine, thank you. And you? Are you back from Canada?"
Me: "Yes. Here, have some Canadian gum. How was your summer?"
Kana: "Oh, not so good. It was very hot."
Me: "You like to stay cool?"
Kana: "Yes, iced coffee, iced tea and iced curry. Everything in ice."
Me: "Iced curry? That sounds awful."
Kana: "It's delicious."

On an unrelated note, I found this Bushism during my googles today:

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
—George W. Bush, August 5, 2004
