Good Education/Nothing beats it
 

this story would be really funny, if it wasn't sad.

I rolled into B Dub's last night after work to have a beer with some friends.(wasnt driving:D ) I walk up to the bar and order my beer. This chick tending bar ask me for my ID.

"Sweetheart, I'm 34 years old. I haven't been carded for alcohol since Moby Dick was a minnow."

"Well, I don't know who that is, so it means nothing to me."

she comes back with the beer..

"Umm...do you really not know who Moby Dick is?"

"Isn't he like a famous writer?"

"Yeah hun, thats it...hes a famous author"

"I thought so..."

reminds me of when I was on vacation in our nations capital and some guy asked where I was from...I told him vermont...he said oh, what part of canada is that?

There is ZERO culture out here...backwoods, redneck hillbillys

honey, even people without culture have usually heard of melville...or at least know that moby dick was a whale, not an author...

you might be a redneck if


your woking tv sits on your broken tv
if someone says you have something in your teeth and you take them out to see
if you drive in reverse as fast as you can and hit the brakes to empty out your truck bed

even sadder...this girl was about 25-26 years old...

...and people wonder why I stay home all the time and not venture out more in this city...

Hell thats not even education.

Thats when you ask what rock have you been hiding under so that somewhere along the line in your life you missed this? What pains did you go through to avoid being exposed to air?

P....I told my buddy there with me that this poor girl was still gonna be pulling draft beers 25 years from now...

Not good looking enough for you Kev? She doesn't need to win a spelling bee for you, c'mon.

wasn't even remotely attractive Rand...and if she would have been, that is an instant turn off to me....intelligence is very sexy to me:cool: :cool:

but lets hope she doesn't have hairy arms for Randall's sake:p

My ultimate deal breaker. The beer would be sent back if I saw armhair.

facial hair tends to the the "in" thing with the local women here:eek:

Deliverance City. Get out of there. Come up to civilization up here.

how do you know he's not into the natural look:D

Rand...no thanks...not enough money in the world for me to live in NJ.:D

Hey Beth...kiss my "natural look":p

I just meant the north, but you have to go and take a shot at Jersey. No problem.

Your my boy...you know that. I think you have some southerner in you. You tend to be too nice to be a Yankee:D

I hear that all the time....:eek: :D

you need to quit eavesdropping on others conversations then:D gotta be the only way you ever hear that:p

GFY! ....:D

Make that some MET in me. Yankees are the enemy.

oops...sorry.

not tonight honey...I have a headache...:p

LOL.

Hey, you find stoopid everywhere-- I have a friend who works as a coat-check, and she told me a few months back a guy picking up his coat handed her ticket number 64, and said, "When I'm 64. You know, like that Paul Simon song."

Of course, Kev, If you'd said that quip to me (very funny, by the way) would have said, "Technically, being a whale, Moby Dick was a marine mammal, so he couldn't ever have been a minnow, which is a species of fish."

And then you would have called me a nerd and I, too, would not have been picked up. Not that I'm still bitter about high school or anything.

OMG GR i thought the same thing last night :p but I knew they would get all over me so I didn't bother to say it:D :D

I thought the same thing....then again, I wonder why folks don't get remarks like..."that girl makes Godot look punctual"....the lack of some folk's education is appalling!

when they changed the look of our money, we were talking about the new hundred dollar bill....lady said 'ben franklin was one of our best presidents'.

yeah, sure lady. wonder if she says the same about hamilton....

as for dealing with less than bright people--how about when your bill comes to oh, say 5.04...you hand them a ten, and they finish ringing the register while you fish a nickel out of your pocket--then watch the fun begin when they try to figure out your change in their head.

I guess my attempt at sarcasm was futile huh?

Hee hee. I'm sure Kev will punish me later. Right Kev? Right? Right?

I thought your quip was hilarious, Somer, but then I was a theater major so I got tested on stuff like that. I was the only person in the entire theater who laughed at the "John Webster" quip when I saw "Shakespeare in Love." Now that I think of it, my dating history in college reflected it, too... :(

And Danzig-- that was really funny. Though thanks to that old milk commerical, I bet most people at least know who shot Alexander Hamilton. Who says advertising doesn't teach one anything?

Ok girls...only cuz I love you two am I gonna let you slide this once....ONCE!!!!:cool:

i thought your godot line was funny....and i always enjoy sarcasm so please continue!

well, if they could make out the guy trying to get out aaron burr, then yes they know!

I send a strong second on this. Once one has been around enough beautiful airheads... they turn ugly as hell. And wise women become beautiful.

But then again I am far from normal.

Had the same thing happen to me years ago at Mcdonalds.The register read $5.40,so i gave the guy $10.40.The next thing i knew i was looking at a deer paralyzed by headlights.Years ago you went to the supermarket the cashier had to put all the prices in manually and figure out your total with coupons,and gave you correct change.They were faster then,than they are now with the scanners.How about at the track when they had that automatic pencil that posted the result and then the clerk put in the little window.He or she had to figure you're total in there head or on a piece of paper.

I always try to give them the change.....if I give them 20.40 for 5.40 bill..I say 20.40 to them. It's when they roll their eyes I get irritated!

Thats why I always use ATM/Debit, I don't have any patience for
these morons at check-out line. Also they have the right to vote,
very scary.

The problem is that when thrown a curve they are not able to think on there feet.Part of it i'm sure is training and they're told to give the change according to what the register says.
