I'm a down to earth gypsy

I'm the sort of person that is so down to earth, I have dirt under my finger nails. 

Well, I would have dirt under my nails if I didn't bite them all the time.

I had to get up at 6am this morning to take my car in to get serviced. After going to bed at just after 1am I was obviously very tired in the morning. One of the mechanics told me that I looked pretty beat, and I told him that I was running on less than 5 hours sleep. 

His reply? "What the?.. were you raised by gypsies or something?"

I don't really get the reference that he was trying to make.. but I did have a laugh! - I think it's time for bed now.
