DISPENSARY CORNER 24 June 16

Y’ALL know how distinctive a
Texan accent can be.
So would you believe a woman
born and bred in Texas could wake
up after jaw surgery with a proper
plum-in-mouth British accent?
That’s exactly what happened
to Lisa Alamia of Rosenberg who developed
the well known Foreign Accent
Syndrome after she underwent
surgery to fix an overbite.
At first her family thought it was
a joke, but six months on she still
sounds like a UK national import.
She has adopted the foreign
accent despite never travelling
outside of the US, except for one
trip to Mexico.
Alamia’s neurologist, ran tests to
determine what led to the change
but they were unable to find any
scientific explanation.
A SWEDISH footballer is in shock
after he was sent off the field for
breaking wind during a match.
The referee claimed the
natural bodily function was
“deliberate provocation” and
“unsportsmanlike behaviour”.
“I had a bad stomach, so I
simply let go then I received two
yellow cards and then a red, it’s
the strangest thing I have ever
experienced in football,” Adam
Lindin Ljungkvist who plays for
the Swedish team Pershagen SK
told media.
He denies claims he was
using the stench to provoke the
opposition.
