LOL! And you said your English was not so good. That was great!

Well, I was not born in English-speaking country. So, sometimes my English can sound (very) abnormal and sometimes doesn't follow your culture, etc. So, it's possible that I don't catch your idea or doesn't express my idea culturally correctly.

This conversation is a really great example of cross-cultural humor.

I apologize if I made you feel bad.

Actually, I think Scott was paying you a compliment(!), but stated it in an indirect way that didn't translate back. (Sarcasm/subtlety doesn't translate well)

Not being a native speaker, you described the situation in a way that no native (US) English speaker would but I'm quite sure everyone understood.

It was funny because it was far more direct and astute description than a native speaker might have used (or have gotten away with).

I think what Scott was saying was that you described the situation so well that your English is far better than you're giving yourself credit for -- no apology needed -- you played the "not a native speaker" card well.

I got a good laugh too!

Best,

-Steve
