One of my best friends married a divorced mom of four kids. She was an aerobic instructor, among other things I suppose, but they had attended a party once and were talking about the threat Russia still posed the US.
This lady stayed quite until she piped up with,
“And to think we share our northern border with Russia!”
The crowd there laughed, of course, thinking it was a joke, only to the horror of looking upon her distressed, surprised, and then embarrassed face when everyone found out at the same time she actually thought Canada was somewhere over in Europe.
She actually believed that the city just passed Blaine, WA was in Russia.
True story.
They got along famously. My friend had a couple of simple rules in his life, and she fit one of them perfectly it seems. The other was ‘don’t get between him and his food’.
Well, “Not as smart as me” doesn’t have to mean “dumb as a rock”. Perhaps in this guy’s case but too dumb and you’re going to go crazy every time her yap hole opens up.
Errr, uh, err... about that northern border thing ...
Looked at a globe, lately?
Depending on whose claims to the arctic you believe... we DO share a northern border with Russia.
He's very seriously rich and married a very seriously good-looking blonde, and has a very seriously good plastic surgeon to help keep her that way.
Additionally, if she ever had a thought, it would die of loneliness.
To be fair, she's a pleasant enough girl, so long as the conversation doesn't get beyond the weather, or the latest TV shows. It's actually a little refreshing to speak with someone who's dumb, knows it, and doesn't attempt to be anything that they're not.
