I went to the store a little bit ago and was standing just inside the door bullshitting with one of the clerks I know who also moved out here from California when a little old blue haired lady about 80 years old walks in. Apparently her and Kimberly know each other pretty well because they started trading lighthearted jabs at each other when the old lady turns to me and says "So, are you a yankee too?"
I started laughing and said "Nein Ohma, Ich bin Deutsch" because there's no fucking way I'm copping to being from California too and opening myself up to an attack.
She hesitated for a second while she did the translation and says "And would that be Northern or Southern Germany, sir?"
Damn, talk about being on her toes.
