Unable To Think Independently
(Years ago, I worked in an Internet cafe. We have an American tourist come in and check his email. His email doesn’t have a traditional webmail service. You have to connect through a special program and chose your location.)
Customer: “I can’t connect. It’s not showing my mail.”
Me: “I see what it is. You chose to use the UK access number.”
Customer: “But I’m in the UK.”
Me: “No, this is Ireland.”
Customer: “But Ireland is part of the UK.”
Me: “No, only the north is.”
Customer: “But you all speak English.”
Me: “Yes, but we are still a different country. It’s listed under the Republic of Ireland in the drop down menu.”
Customer: “But that is part of the UK. People here are British right?”
Me: “No. In America you had a war of independence in 1775 right?”
Customer: “Yes.”
Me: “So did we, in 1921. If we’re British, so are you.”
