Ukraizy
(I am buying a newspaper, in addition to other things, which has an article about the Ukraine on the front.)
Customer: “You know, you kids should really be worrying more.”
Me: “Oh? Why is that?”
Customer: “Because World War Three is coming.”
Me: *laughing* “Well, I’m not so much the military type. I suppose I’ll just go hide in Canada.”
Customer: “Oh, you think that! But Canada is voting soon to leave the Commonwealth! They want to be part of Russia!”
Me: *thoroughly confused* “Really? I suppose that puts Alaska in an awkward position.”
Customer: “You don’t even know!”
(After this, she went on for several minutes about assorted crackpot political theories. I felt bad for the people waiting.)
