So maybe not EVERY stupid thing I hear...

Since Jason wont let me post about HIM, I guess I wont have as much to post... hah, kidding! :)

But in all reality, I may think "now THAT is blog worthy!" about 10 times a day, but I never make it to the computer before I forget!  So I've decided to expand the blog to our everyday life, and make the stupid people we run into a highlight of it!

If you're wondering, I did have one other minor conversation with Sonic Man, in which he asked questions about a "western civilization" class that "teaches about all the great dynisties of China and Japan and Rome," and explained that "the reconstruction time was when the world recreated itself after the civil war."  He also made a brief remark about being shocked to learn that the colonists had slaves (he then said "just kidding" to which, I could only reply, "i sure hope so!").  

So there's today's blog post.  A post about what I'm going to post.  Someday.  :)

The Sonic Man

Hello! Welcome to my blog! I've decided to put together a collection of all the crazy and stupid things I hear throughout the day. Here is my first blog... Enjoy!

After a particularly dry biology lecture this afternoon, I set out in search of a cool, refreshing drink. The local Sonic caught my eye with their half price Happy Hour drinks. I parked my car, ordered my drink, and pulled out my History book to brush up on William Penn and the Quakers before class started. The Sonic man comes out, and our conversation goes as follows.

Sonic Man: William Penn? Who is that?

Me: He founded Pennsylvania.

Sonic Man: He did what?

Me: He founded Pennsylvania.

Him: How can you find something that's already there?

Me: What?

Him: Wasn't Pennsylvania one of the original 13 states? If it was already there, how did he find it?

Me: No no, he FOUNDED it... he started it...

Him: yeah, I know, but he can’t FIND something if it was already there!

Me: He was the original guy... you know, William PENN... PENNsylvania... (I’m pointing to the two words on the page at this point)

Him: Well I still don’t get it. You can’t find something if it’s already a state.

Him: What do you want to do when you grow up anyway?

Me: Teach History.

Him: Well good luck.

Him (walking away): Find Pennsylvania... sheesh...
