Just got a response from Halle Berry’s people, Carl..she says…Sure, just after Hail freezes over, so, sounds like you may at least stand a chance…A Snowballs chance anyway…lol

Well howsa bout Jennifer Lopez or Angelina Jolie? Hey I live just 10 minutes from Miami Beach and have $127.42 stashed in the credit union so money is no object.
A funny story- Years ago the Japanese Olympic Baseball Team was here in Miami for a series of games against the usual world champ University of Miami. When the reporters asked a player if he was learning any English, he replied “Si. Buenas dias.” Well that’s English in Miami alright.
I am the king of corn. (thatsa a c there not a p). But followers are loyal because the wholesomeness here is attractive in the contaminated world in which we live.
I think that has always been the case. I find it unexplainable, however, that the standardization of English by television shows and news broadcasters with no recognizable regional accent has not dissipated the vernacular.
