Hey Beantown

[DOGS THAT BARK]

You got my tit in a ringer in China.
Was this girl who had boyfriend (from Boston)arrive from the states to be married on 18th. I was talking with the girl and some of her friends to be in wedding party and they they ask me if I knew how to pronounce his last name. I took one look and said your termonology "oh a garlic snapper" To make long story short when he arrived they all referred to him that way. When I met him it was quite obvious to him where they had gotton that term.
