Say Hello To The Rest Of The €arth

I’m commenting on a social media post. I witnessed the following comment exchange take place over the space of five minutes:

EU Commenter: “Yeah, I would love to get one for myself, but it’s €499.99, and I can’t justify that kind of cost right now.”

One of the commenters from the USA chimes in:

USA Commenter: “What the h*** is that funny ‘C’?”

EU Commenter: “You mean €? That’s the symbol for the Euro.”

USA Commenter: “Why are you talking about Euros?”

EU Commenter: “Because I am in Europe. I use Euros.”

USA Commenter: “But why are you talking about Europe? This is Facebook, so it’s American!”

EU Commenter: “My friend, what do you think the first two ‘W’s in www stand for?”
