Saulius
by three and two, hahaha. It was funnier when Lithuanian Saul would say it trying to describe "leader crimps" which he had forgotten the American name for. How do you expect someone from Lithuania to know what "leader crimps" are anyway. But it was things that were so simple to people native of American that i found so frustratingly hilarious when trying to help him out. He would do this sort of charade thing while trying to describe as best he could in words that he wanted me to pass him a can of soda.
"You know." he would say in a strong Lithuanian accent, "The bubbles. Water... like bubbles. Tin... outside of bubbles... water. i want... that."
"What?!" i would reply. "Oh you mean a can of soda. You want a can of soda. right... i get it."
It's those sorts of things that may be obnoxious or time consuming at the time, but when you look back on them they're really just plain funny. I don't know, to me anyway.

dude you so nailed that on the head with your description, "frustratingly hilarious". the other day i got a guy on the phone at work who had a reaaaaally thick accent and one of the worst stutters ever. I had no idea what he wanted.
i met a pakistanian drunk outside a quick check. he wanted me to help him get his la-gaygh' (accent on the second syllabel). it took me 10 mins. to figure out what he wanted.
what did he want?
liquor, son. something you obviously need a bit more of.
he got beat up by his boss. he wanted me to convince his boss to give him back us luggage
