Well then, I'll have to ask for a French co-worker.  The last French girl
was rather cute.  Well, cute is not quite correct, she was 'something'.
What that 'something' is is somewhat unexplainable.  You've seen the woman
who has all the waiters run over to help her as she walks into a restaurant.
This girl would have the waiters from the establishment across the road run
over to help as well.  She was 'something'.  No wonder this project is
taking so long.

Slowly working thru the atlas*.  Much fun can be had in telling the most
outrageous lies possible, for example "Lamingtons are in fact coated with
Vegemite, not chocolate as one might assume from their appearance."
