>When I was getting married, they sent three guys as a delegation to the city hall. Now you can imagine the four branches of the extended families (the Lala, the Serbia proper, the Hungarians and the Germans - some have come from Germany for that) nudging each other and asking "ciji su ovo rod" (to whom are these related?).

{LOL} I can imagine.

I just remembed one old story from NS...;

I saw once black guy on the street looking pretty much like Bob Marley. To my surprise, when he opened his mouth he did not
talk anything even remotely simillar to Jamaican english - but more like genuine NS city slang ( 'Dun..aaa...vska' ) language !

Later at some cheerful party conversation, I have heard story;

Well... he was apparently from one very well known family in Novi Sad. High society couple could not have chilldren for quiet a long time and then all of a sudden... boom she was pregnant and baby was about to be born.

To everybody's utmost surprise child was born... Black!
Every aunt & uncle & all grannma's realised that something was wrong in that equation right there and then, but only later truth broke out ;

Lucky mother being colledge professor or something like that, apparently attended some conference in Holland some year or so before baby was born...
