"There's a snake in my boot!"

 

So here's a funny little story to entertain you guys, especially you guys from Texas who maybe have experienced a version of this.  We had to introduce ourselves in class, like you have to do in pretty much every small class.  So naturally when it was my turn, I said I'm Elizabeth and I come from the US.  I was asked which state, so of course I replied Texas.  All of a sudden my small group erupted with excitement: "Oh, you mean like horses and cowboys??  And the big hats??"  The next question takes the cake: "So is it weird to have so many cars instead of horses to get around?"  Yep.  It's weird all right.  I've never seen a car before, because of course we don't have those in Texas.  Everyone knows Texas is still stuck in the nineteenth century despite being in the middle of a first world superpower country.  Oh man, class is going to be fun =) Hooray for stereotypes and sarcasm!!!
