I had a coworker ask me if I saw famous people a lot in California. In Sonoma County? Hahahaha! I don’t think so. I’d be way more likely to see famous people in Chicago, I am sure.
Another California one (although the dummy was also an American):
I had a friend in high school who went to visit a friend in New York. Now, my friend was a short, dark-haired, dark-eyed, um, not-terribly-svelte Jewish girl. Someone she met in New York didn’t believe that she was born and bred in California, because she wasn’t a statuesque blonde with blue eyes. And this person was serious. :rolleyes:
The stupidest conversation I’ve ever had about any country anywhere took place at a local RCGA meeting. We were talking about our husbands, and it went a little something like this:
Other lady: “So, are you planning a trip anytime soon?”
Me: “My husband is from India, so we’ll probably go there and visit his family soon.”
Other lady: “Your husband is from India?”
Me: “Yes, from Bombay, though he has family in the south and north.”
Other lady: “Have you met Mother Theresa?”
Me: goggling at the woman, waiting for her to burst out laughing to let me know she was kidding. It never happened. “Um, no. In fact, I think she passed away while I was in college.”
Other lady: “Well, surely you’ve met her family.”
:rolleyes:
About America:
-We all LOOOOOVE the current administration.
-All high school students in America are complete morons. We’re taught how to play sports, read, write, maybe do a little math (enough to balance the old checkbook, barely), and that’s it. Which is why all adults in America are stupid, loud clods who are lucky if they remember to breathe.
-We’re all grossly obese.
-We eat fast food every meal of every day.
-All us American women are whores. Even if we’re married, engaged or otherwise attached, we want sex. NOW. And we only pretend not to like it when we’re getting wolf-whistles and unwanted advances from men. Secretly, we like it, and we’re offended if you don’t try to get us to sleep with you the first time we meet you.
