[HPFGU-OTChatter] Digest Number 555

<<Person: England...is that in Ireland?
Me: No, England is part of Britain.
Person: Is *that* in Ireland?
Me: No, but it's nearby. Kinda like New York and
Pennsylvania.
Person: Oh. So they're like different states?
Me: Yep, except actually different countries. Like
America and Canada, but smaller.
Person: Wow, I had no idea.>>

And you did this with such patience John O_O I commend
you. I live in probably the most uncultured town in
the entire country and even I knew that. Of course, I
had to explain it to my entire World History class
today when studying the English Civil War and to my
dad during the opening ceremonies to the Olympics...

Mahoney:
<<"This is Dana, she's from [pick 
one: Ohio/Idaho/...um, where did you say?]."  Not half
as bad as what you describe, but entertaining.  I
think that Iowa is the US's best kept secret,
really.>>

*looks up from her mountain of Biology homework* I
hear ya there! Where are you from in Iowa? I'm from
Iowa too, bit too small for my tastes.

<<Mahoney
Iowa-luver>>

That makes one of us ;)
