Giving The French Stick
Customer: *with a strong French accent* “I would like a ticket to Paris, USA.”
(His friends are snickering.)
Me: “The one in Illinois or in Tennessee?”
Customer: *pauses* “What?”
Me: “Do you want Paris, IL, or Paris, TN?”
Customer: “How about Marseilles?”
Me: “Okay, Marseilles in Illinois or Ohio?”
Customer: “Berlin?”
Me: “So, Connecticut?”
Customer: “Moscow?”
Me: “Idaho?”
Customer: “You’re making that up.”
(I show him the screen for Moscow, Idaho.)
Customer: “Look, I was only pointing out that American movies always list the city and country for a location because you’re too d*** stupid to know that Paris is in France!”
