About a week ago, a guy from NYC stopped in at KFC, where I work during the evenings/weekends.  I took his order, and, while we were waiting for it to be packed, he started small talk.  This is how the conversation went.

HIM: Where are all the Indians at?

ME:  Huh?

HIM:  I thought there would be Indians here.  This is the west, isn't it?

ME (spoken with a slight western accent):  Just a couple days ago, I had to defend my family's homestead from an Apache war party.  Musta been 30-40 of em, riding up, all yelling that war cry of theirs.  They started shooting arrows at us, so we circled up the wagons around the farmhouse, and started to shoot 'em from the windows and the porch with our Winchesters.  Musta killed 20 of em before they rode off.  I tell ya, there ain't nothing scarier than an injun war party, screaming and hollering, shooting arrows at ya.  Wanna see the Tomahawk that was stuck in our door?


I guess he sensed my sarcasm, because he shut up after that, got his food, and went on his way. :D

 No, they aren't.   NYC is a very diverse place , for nationalities.   Maybe he realized how dumb his small talk was and walked away ?

Either way, it was funny. ;D  Turned a boring afternoon into an interesting one.

Wouldn't he have been surprised though if he went to bust a cap and you got him with the Tomahawk?   :-X


:icon_smile_cool:   We get that type of stuff around here in the summer.   Damn tourists.   It isn't that they are all bad, it is just the majority have $$$, can afford to take the vacation, and believe that everyone living here is their servant.   :rotz:   Still want the bumper sticker a friend saw that read:   Happiness is a South bound Masshole.   That is slang for someone from Massachusettes for those who don't know.   :devil:

I was in Memphis for work this last week and a couple guys from Texas were busting my balls because of my Minnesota accent.   Now i dont say "dont cha know" or "ya sure" or "you bet-cha" like all you have seen on the movie Fargo.   But maybe my Minnesota sounded like Minnesooda.    Anyways, during my week in Tennessee i started to wonder where the you all vs yawl line was.   I dont think Iowa people say yawl, so i must be in Missouri somewhere where it makes the transition.....

Hey Ghost,

We New Yorkers might believe your Indian story if you stick your thumbs under your armpits when you tell it.   :D  Of course we wouldn't be eating the food order after you pulled your thumbs back out to give us the food.  :o

So you don't have any indians out there?

Not anywhere around here.  There's a reservation up in the NorthWest corner of the state.  About 3 hours drive away.

Yeah, and against popular belief the northwesterners New Yorkers are more like mid-western US than the Joe Peci type.

Now I know this CANNOT be the same jackass (GHOST) as the quick thinking idiot from the old board!!!   Come to think of it, I bet it is.. He worked as a chef at a big fancy well known restaurant. Wore a cowboy hat and drove a NEON...........       

Ahhhhahahahahahaaaaa,,,,,  :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

So now you want us to believe that bullshit story...     :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: :icon_bs:

I think you spent a long and very boring day filling orders for people that have a life and then cleaning the bathrooms and probably got turned down by someone that didn't like your hat. At the end of your crappppy life you wanted to try to make a funny and it backfired on you... 

So first I don't believe you and second, Chris is just exactly right.. If what you say happened and he didn't at least stick a napkin box up your ass and shit in your hat, he wasn't from New York.... 

Now go take the gargage out and wipe your sniveling nose.......... :devil:

Not sure I believe you had that quick of a reply. Not sure you would have done that with the risk of a manager or superior around either. I'm also not sure that we need to burn him at the stake for making this story up...but then again, that's just me and remember?...I'm not sure.

Living in the south, you get a lot of yankee wise-asses thinking you live in an intellectual vacuum.  The great thing is that southerners (NOT rednecks), in general, have a very subtle, quiet way of putting people in their place.

Having lived in Upstate NY as long as I did, I can tell you that there are as many rednecks (an I use this as an extremely derogatory term) up there are there are down here.

As far as NYC folks are concerned (or Philly, or Boston folks for that matter) are concerned.  Being a wise-ass is almost an art form and 3/4 of the time, they mean nothing by it...in fact...its often a sign of cameraderie.  Usually, you garned a yankee city-boy's respect by being a wiseass right back to him.

And BTW...Steve...who the hell pissed in your Wheaties dude?
