This post reminded me, but I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in a work setting as when my Peruvian co-worker was attempting to say “hippopotamus” and just uttered the most hilarious combination of syllables I’ve ever heard one human emit.

No, we were not laughing at her. She was laughing just as hard as we all were. And she still cannot say “hippopotamus.” But she is getting better.
