The small joys work gives us...

 ... include when, in the same videocall, held in English and involving people who struggle with English, manage to say:

I'm kinky! (I think instead of Kidding)

and also (same guy)

I have an erection (I think he meant "I have a reaction" but not sure!)

Are you sure? I often think this will be me when I get older and start to lose me senses.

ahahaha no, I'm pretty sure. These poor guys are 60something Italians who never really had to utter a word in English before last year (when they put their company for sale) and they really struggle. the second might be a mispronunciation, granted, but the "I'm Kinky" was said loud and clear several times :-D
