Room Service

To get the full effect, this should be read aloud. You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation.
The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review:

Room Service (RS): "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest (G): "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Sounds like a conversation I had with a borrower when reconfirming our appointment time. I thought "oh boy, this is going to be one awful closing", but when I got there he explained that when I called earlier he had just gotten back from the dentist and his jaw was still numb and he couldn't talk! We had a good laugh about it and the closing went without a hitch since I could then understand him.
