Coworker: Hey Cliff, how do you spell “Korea?”

Me: K-O-R-E-A.

Coworker: What?  No.  Korea, like a job.  I’m looking for a new korea.

This reminds me of the beefa story.

Girl: I saw a beefa yesterday!

Kid!Mom, who has recently moved to Massachusetts from New Jersey: A beefa?

Girl: Yeah!

Kid!Mom: Is that some kind of cow?

Girl: No, no! A beefa! You know, *sticks out front teeth*

Kid!Mom: …a beaver.

Girl: Yes!

Kid!Mom: You mean a beaver.

Girl: Yes! A beefa!

Kid!Mom: *long sigh* *wonders what the hell her parents have gotten her into*
