A Texas rancher namd George decided to take a vacation in New York City, just to see what the big city was like. He was rather out of place among the tall buildings, and one afternoon he found himself lost among the concrete canyons of Manhattan. He decided to ask for help.

"Excuse me, sir," he said politely to a well-dressed, middle-aged man walking along the street, "but can you tell me where Times Square is at?"

The man turned up his nose, looked at him, and said, "I don't know where you are from, but here in New York we speak proper English -- you don't end a sentence with a preposition like that!"

"I'm sorry," George said, extremely embarrassed and apologetic, "Can you tell me where Times Square is at, asshole?"
