Complementing a riposte from a Navajo speaker, as well as the fine Erich Leinsdorf story:
After a trip to LA, a renowned English cricketer hires a car. Speeding happily along a straight, endless, empty road through the Nevada desert, he is flagged down by two bored traffic cops parked idly at the roadside. One walks over to him and drawls,
“We bin waiting for yew all day, bud!”
Unruffled, he responds affably:
“Well, I got here as fast as I could, officer!”
