[AccessD] OT Friday

Another dumb American story (sadly true):

An aquaintance of mine was from India, and had spent time in the UK before
moving with her family to Houston. She started attending a local Houston
high school, and one day there a curious fellow student started asking her
questions:

"So, where'd you live before you came to Houston?"

"In England."

"Oh. Where's that?"

"Umm, east of here."

"Oh really ... what language do they speak?"

At that point, she broke off the conversation.

Hey, at least you are aware that the US has neighbors to the north,
unlike another individual (not on this list) who thought that Alaska was
an island because her US map didn't show any other land bordering it.

And besides, we have Curling too!
