How about "I don't watch american TV"?

    Come on, you must have heard of Julia Child. Who can forget that voice?


    "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.

      Or the time she dropped the lamb roast on the floor:

      "Oooops, (chortle chortle) I'll just pick it up and pop it back in" (while hastily shoving the whole kit and kaboodle into the oven and grabbing the one prepared earlier).

      I think she'd been hitting the sherry or vino a bit hard that day.

      (And I'm a kiwi, so she made it that far. The only other one I've heard of is Martha Stewart)
