Yesterday, I found myself watching part of Miss Korea 2006. (No, I don’t understand Korean and, no, I don’t partake in this activity regularly.) Nevertheless, I was listening to the speeches when one of the contestants said:

However, because she couldn’t speak English very well, her “a will” sounded like “oil”. That’s how I heard it at first, and I immediately thought of the Bush administration.

[Ha ha! Loser!]
You’re calling me a loser? Look at you. You have nothing better to do than hang around here. I’d keep my mouth shut if I were you.
