Say What? - Greg Whelan

Most of us have an extraordinary gift for saying the wrong thing - a slip - up, faux pas or other innocent mistake - especially when speaking in a different language, region or dialect. Greg Whelan presents this unique and unprecedented collection of real-life intercultural blunders, shared with him by everyday people in all walks of life, from all over the globe. He also throws in a few of his own experiences gained while verbally stumbling around South America.

Whelan explores these unintentional miscommunications from the humorous perspective of "the truth is funnier than fiction." He shows us how, while not meaning to project ourselves as insensitive, unintelligent, crude, perverted or even racist, the words that come out of our mouths in foreign lands or tongues often land us in the most awkward and embarrassing of situations.

Reviews:

"It's the bedside "Tower of Babel" - a few giggles as you sit on the plane, soak in the bath, or drift off to sleep-proving that one man's food is another man's dirty word.  -  Andy Jones, Actor/Comedian

Greg's stories are witty tidbits for wordplay enthusiast. Perfect for moments of lighthearted diversion!" - Berni Stapleton, Playwriter/author
