"Thanks For Asking"
This was between high school and college. I was in Kathmandu living on my own. My friends and I would drop by the British Council Library once in a while. On one of those trips a British tourist approached my friend.
"Excuse me, would you have change for 1,000 rupees?" the tourist asked and briskly pulled a thousand rupee note. That was a lot of money.
"Sorry, no, but thanks for asking," my friend promptly replied, feeling flattered.
"Do You Have An Email Address?"
