Europeans and Asians have always had a better grasp of the importance of geography than American

Was arguing with these two obnoxiously large Scotsman in a bar in Hong Kong with my brother years back. My brother cited the wrong city for St. Andrew's golf course in Scotland and the big idiot Scot says, "There's the famous American sense of geography!"

So my brother says, "Oh you know your geography, huh. Where's Ohio?"

And the dumb lug says, "I'm not sure, but I know it's on your west coast..."

"Yeah, the west coast of Pennsylvania, you moron," replied my brother.

Europeans know European geography. They don't know squat about anything else. North Americans know North American georgraphy. It's not our fault there's only three countries on the continent. Aussies have it even easier.

There are more than 3 countries in North America.
