I'm going to have to fire my new maid!

expatbrat · Mar 13, 2007

Our new maid, who is actually really nice, just turned up this morning wearing a black t-shirt that reads "I support two teams, New Zealand, and whoever is playing Australia".

Now I understand that she doesn't speak much English, and no doubt has no idea what her cool black t-shirt actually says... but honestly. How could she? She is going to have to go.

This is not a joke. I just went and took a pic:

I have a shirt like that except it's for my beloved BOSOX :

"I love two teams : The Boston Red Sox and anyone playing the Yankees

"

Don't fire the maid...just get her a proper t-shirt. Call it a bonus

Is this about cricket? Or everything in general?

Maybe her "I survived the tsunami and all I got was this stinking shirt" shirt was in the wash.

I'll make sure never to look you in the eyes, sir.

What eyes?

I'm just envious that you have a maid.

I honestly have no idea what the phrase on her T-Shirt indicates.

I don't get it either. :tongue

expatbrat · Mar 13, 2007

What's there not to get?

Her shirt says she goes for New Zealand... which is bad enough. But not just that, no, there is more... the shirt goes on to say she supports any team that is not Australia.

It's a bit like a shirt that reads I support Iran and anyone playing America.

Only a little bit like that, cause really we Aussies quiet like the New Zealands. We are going to call them FEA, Far East Australia, when we take them over.

Oh!

You're fired! But could you fire her with pay and send her to me?

hehe, as an austalian i think that is funny, it could be rugby or circiket but most likly rugby. Come on, we call NZ the 7th state which they hate. If we can't tease each other like good friends we are who can we tease

Toss her ass out into the outback with a liter of petrol for drinking water, and she won't be so darn eager to wear that shirt! Heathen!

It is Rugby. The front of the shirt has the NZ All Blacks Rugby logo...

Naughty naughty Goy! Goy is the Wednesday, Friday maid. Wow, the other maid, only works on Mondays. Of course this is all going to change when Sun, the baby trained maid, starts with us full time in June... Arrrrh it is so hard getting good help! The stresses of being an expat can be rather taxing at times...

aruna · Mar 14, 2007

I don;t care. Just send me those maids!!!!

robeiae · Mar 14, 2007

Go All Blacks!

My son was wearing his All Blacks shorts, just yesterday. Think I'll wear my jersey today...

You know,my maid wears a - looks like an 'anarchy theme' today - t-shirt. You should see the counter tops gleam!

The landscaper/mechanic does a good job, too.

I need a 'butler'.

FYI- Loverboy and Night Ranger 1985 concert t-shirts are currently the top sellers in Cambodia.

Ol' Boy hates being called 'maid'...

My son has a Good Bush - Bad Bush T-shirt.
The Good Bush shows the area of a woman's - aaaah - triangle.
The Bad Bush is a caricature of George W.

The other day my husband - who has no idea what this means and doesn't read T-shirt messages, and who is a rather kindly man in his mid-60-s - put this shirt on absent-mindedly and wore it in public. I only realised when he came home and I had a good laugh!

Mine prefers 'house boy' and turns down the bed prematurly when I grab his butt.

I'm going to have to fire my new maid!
