On culture shock, horror, and disgust: Some of the emotions from which I'm still reeling

[dontpushme]

I have once used that term to a doctor colleague of mine, he is Muslim and I just got tired seeing him changing gears. I caught him at the start of a 12 hour shift and it just ruins your day so shouted at him cheekily "Doc, is that 4th gear?" Lo and behold he turned pink like a lobster.

HAHAHAHAHA! That just cracked me up! I wish I had the gumption to try a line like that the next time someone does it in my presence.
