Got Milk?
I just went into the local Middle Eastern owned/operated convenience store, Safari Food Store near my place to get some cigarettes, milk, bread, and soda. I found everything OK except for the milk. So, I went up to the guy at the counter and asked, "Do you have milk?" He looked at me perplexed. "Milk? What is this?" he said. "Drink. White. Comes from a cow. Moo?" I countered. He asks, "Beer?" I spot a younger guy stocking shelves and ask him, "Do you have milk?" He understands fine and points me to it.
Now, the guy at the counter can't understand "Milk", but he CAN understand "Parliament Lights 100's." That seems to be a far more complex string of words to understand than simply, "Milk."
