Peter,
Couple chuckles hidden there.
1. At least ThomPson didn't say, The "P" is silent, just like in swimming.
2. If the other Thomson's comment was in French, It could be taken as an insult to Venezuela as P and COUNTRY sound the same in French.
e.g. Je m'appele Thomson, sans pays, comme Venezuela.
I agree, it would be nice to see his original line. ++++++++++++++
"I'm Thompson, with a 'p', as in 'psychology.' "
whereas the other (Thomson) said:
"I'm Thomson, without a 'p', as in 'Venezuela.' "

P.S. If anyone knows what the original French version of this was, I'd love to find out. |
