I used that line with some A.American friends of mine and they nearly passed out from laughing when they first met me. Went to a party at their house a few months ago, only honkeys there. The rest of them were astonished that we were white - we told them we were born during the day.

It's scouse innit. Okay, it happens to be in the North but you would never hear a brit describing a scousers accent os northern. It's a compliment really, you are a breed apart.
