300 In 1 Chance

(My family’s GPS broke while we are looking for a mall, so we are lost somewhere in New Jersey, while the mall is in Pennsylvania. We decide to park somewhere and go around to ask for directions.)

Me: “Where’s the mall? I’m tired of waiting to get directions.”

Sister: “Calm down; just be patient. How about this? Just randomly say the first thing that’s all you can think of.”

Me: *thinks for less than a second and yells out* “THIS IS SPARTA!”

(Everyone on the streets burst into laughter.)

Me: “Why is everyone laughing?”

(Various people point to a sign that says what city we’re in. It says: “Sparta, New Jersey”)

Everyone On The Streets: *while still laughing* “THIS IS SPARTA!”

(Eventually, we got to the mall, two hours before closing time.)
