There are these new elevators at the urology office. They say "going up" and "going down" as per the yuge*. The "going up" voice is American. The "going down" voice is all Australian: "Goyng Dine." Similarly, the dictation recording at the VA hospital is in a non-regional American dialect until it says "Enter werk top, fall-ud bah thuh payound kuyee." (Enter work type, followed by the pound key) It makes me laugh every time. Apparently, Dolly Parton lent her voice talents for that one line.
In other news, I've developed quite a European following according to that map over there---->
Come on, Africa! You're lagging behind the rest of the world. Maybe I should blog about the Congo or something.
