Just bits on a wire

That’s the name of the Thai phrase book I bought for $3.  “Deal!”, I thought.  Wrong.  The book is filled with the most delightfully useless phrases, and almost no useful ones.  Examples:

My wife is accustomed to Chinese food - “Pharaya-phom shob a-harn chine”.  Buddy, tell your wife to deal with it.

Please excuse me while I change - “Khaw-thode phom khaw-plian seua-pha”.  Not a problem for me, as I only have one change of clothes.

Wonderfully missing are the phrases, “Yes”, “No”, “Please”, “Thank you”… the list goes on.
