THEN these three random guys sat down at the table where I was sitting. I had my headphones and they didn't try to talk to me, so I was like, whatever. Anyway, all of a sudden they had a conversation that went something like this:
Guy 1: So, I think I might've already asked this before, but I don't remember asking it and I don't remember the answer, so...are The Netherlands and Denmark the same thing?
Guy 2: No, cause The Netherlands are Dutch.
Guy 3: I'm not sure, but I think Denmark might be the same . . .
Guy 2: no, the Netherlands are in Scandinavia. They're not the same thing.
Guy 1: Isn't Denmark in Scandinavia, somewhere near Holland or something?
Guy 2: No, Denmark is Danish.
Guy 3: Aren't the Danish part of Scandinavia? I thought they're part of the same place.
Guy 2: They're two completely separate things. They don't like each other.
Guy 1: But, Denmark and The Netherlands could still be the same . . .
Guy 2: No, they can't.
Guy 1: I thought you said Denmark was Dutch.
Guy 2: No.
Guy 1: But . . .
Guy 2: No. The Netherlands and Holland, which are the same thing, are Dutch.
Guy 3: laughing
Guy 1: So, Holland is . . .
Guy 2: Holland is The Netherlands is Dutch.
Guy 1: So those two are the same thing?
Guy 2: Yes.
Guy 1: So are Norway and Den . . .
Guy 3: Norway?
Guy 2: Dude, listen, Denmark is Denmark is Denmark.
Guy 3: laughing
Guy 1: And Norway isn't part of Scandinavia?
Guy 2: No, it's not. They could get in a war and Scandinavia would kick their butts because they're morons.
Guy 1: How do you know they're morons?
Guy 2: I'm basing that off of the past two minutes of this conversation with you.
It went something along those lines. I zoned out a little towards the end and had to fill in the blanks. Anyway, I was trying so hard not to laugh, but I smiled a little. I don't think they could tell that the reason I was smiling was because I found their conversation amusing and not my book amusing. But whatever . . . it made my day.
