Ood

I've always thought I had a decent ear for accents, but I had a woman stump me the other day. She came up to me and asked if we had anything "ood".

Ood? To rhyme with food? Huh?

I asked her if it was a name brand. She said it wasn't. I asked her if it was the name of a particular item. She said no. Frustrated, she asked me to follow her so she could show me what she was talking about.

I followed her and she pointed to an item on the shelf. She said "ood" again. The item she was pointing to was made of wood. I said, "Wood?"

"Ood," she agreed.

What was particularly weird was that her English seemed pretty good. I guess she just couldn't distinguish between wood and ood.
