Stupid Dollar, Rebound!

So I’ve been suffering from a nasty bronchial infection for a couple of days, which thanks to antibiotics, is going away. This morning was pretty rough though, since I pretty much lost my voice completely. Aside from scratchy two-syllable words, I wasn’t getting much out above a whisper. And since my voice was so fucked up, I affected the gruff monotone vocal timber of a 90-year-old nicotene addict. So when we were at the Dublin visitors center attempting to get bus tickets, I had an interesting conversation with the woman who charged me two Euro for a bottle of fucking water:

Her: “That’ll be two Euro, five cents please. “
*I hand her three Euro*
Her: “Oh hey now. Have ye possibly got a five cent coin on ye?”
Me: “I…” (at this point my voice gives out completely, making it impossible to finish saying “I think so”, and it simply sounds like a gravelly Irish “Aye”)
Her: “Oh, great!” (follows up with a long string of what I can only assume is Gaelic)
Me: *baffled* “…..Aye.”

She was sort of confused after that, I can only hope that her foreign inquiry was not something important, like my sexual preferences or something.
