What do I say? How do I respond to this? That's what I mean, see? I can't respond! Nothing I can think of even comes close. I refuse to write the RO**** thing again. A funny true story: I'm in a certain convenience store in Los Angeles. There is a very long line. The clerk was obviously born in another country and wears headgear to prove it. The Customer that is making us all wait is from a different country, and has many, many compatriots in Los Angeles. The Customer is unhappy because 2 six packs of Bud are not the same price as a 12 pack of Bud, which is on sale. He does not want to hear the clerk's explanation, does not want a 12 pack of Bud, and is uninterested in the people behind him in the line. The argument ebbs and flows, as these things will, until the Customer throws the 2 six packs at the clerk and says Something Bad in his Native Tongue. The clerk deftly catches the 12 brewskis! The Customer makes the Bad Hand Signal and gruffly walks to the door. To which the clerk replies (in his own very thick accent which you must try out loud for full effect if you know anyone that speaks Pakistani) "Ahole!! Go back to your own country!"** At which point a certain patron at the back of the line fell down with tears in his eyes. America! You gotta love it.
