The day I moved into my apartment, my roommate saw my iPhone and with wide-eyed fascination, held it gently and said "what....is... THIS?" trying to stifle a crooked grin, I said, "that's my cell phone. It's an iPhone. Apple makes it." he then said quietly, "It's so small...." I was surprised he'd never heard of one! The same thing happened at the airport with all of the guys there. I mean, third-world terrorists own iPhones. come on.
THEN we were sitting there watching T.V. and my roommate matt was going through my dvd collection, and he held up The Dark Knight and said, "What's this one about?" After I cleaned my brains off the wall, I said "ummmm yeah, you're just gonna have to watch it. You'll like it." Okay, this movie has grossed over $1 BILLION worldwide, and yet it can't penetrate North Dakota's border. I know of unborn fetuses that have seen this movie. crazy.
I thought I was just overreacting and in danger of being one of those hot-shot "not-from-here" kind of guys, so I decided to lay off. After all, not everyone is interested in phones and movies. Right?
Well TODAY, I went through the drive-through of A&W and got a double cheeseburger with fries. I then made the mistake of asking for Fry Sauce. There was a long pause, and the lady said, "You're not from here, are you?" GREAT. "nooooope. Why?" ... "because every time someone asks for this fry sauce stuff, I know they're from out of town. I've heard of it, but we don't have it. I don't know why someone would wanna eat a mix of thousand-island dressing and ketchup. Gross." After chuckling at HER version of fry sauce, I realized that North Dakota needs to catch up. Haha fun times...
