Got relevance?

Touring the Metroblogging sites I always find myself checking out what the writers of New Orleans have to say. Well, Dan Frazier wrote about what it means to answer a usual question with the worst answer ever.

The plane is packed. Not an empty seat in coach. I don't mind sitting with the common people, hell I am a common person. The couple next to me seem nice enough, he looks like Ron Howard -Opie and she looks like a older Martha Stewart.They start the chit-chat, not me. I just answer their questions. I'm in radio, it's a business trip, blah blah blah until:

"Where ya from?"

(Mind) Don't say New Orleans, don't say New Orleans
(Mouth) "New Orleans"

The shit hits the fan.
The couple that asked the question recoil in horror.


It's funny, horrifying and rage inducing. Don't believe me? GO READ IT!

Martha: "Why the hell would anyone want to live there?"
(mind)- Cause it's a free fucking country you backroad hick"
(mouth)- It's a beautiful enchanting city.
Opie: "I went there once, all them black people, never again"
(mind)- Thanks for the info Grand Wizard of the KKK
(mouth)- I see


What a great post, which garnered a lot of comments on the site as well.
