    Crazy thing is I understood every word . Took a minute to figure out 'pube bear' and 'chairs'. Its like reading one of those tests where the letters are all jumbled up but the gist is there and topic known prior.

    Want confusing, come local and try to figure out 'Yat' or true Cajun speak

    I get the first half of the sentence, but then it just becomes a kind of noise towards the end of the sentence and I find myself trying to piece it together, but then he starts another sentence and you can get a bit confused trying to keep up and concentrate. I also find the same thing happens with some people from Scotland. It's important to enunciate your words.

    I grew up next to a bloke from Yorkshire with the thickest accent you ever did hear. He also spent plenty of time pissed which didnt help. After deciphering Alan's twang everything else is small fry.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    Not far from the truth at all. We have guys who sit in the back of trucks on a main road holding shrimp up in the air, literally a foot from the road. Like a car cruising 50 can examine them and all that fine 'earllll' without slamming on the brakes . I don't trust the shrimp but when they stand there with melons and fresh honey I'm the one slamming on the brakes.
