What in the hell are they teaching kids in school?

Because it sure isn't geography or vegetable studies (?).

I'm at a Farm Fresh grocery store here in VA Beach this afternoon. I go in to pick up a pork roast, some white asparagus, proscuitto, and a good pilsner.

So, I grab a 12-pack of Pilsner Urquell and the other stuff and head for the checkout counter.

At the checkout counter, the checker asks: "Ooh! What kind of beer is this?"

I respond: "It's from the Czech Republic"

Her: "Where's that"

Me: "It used to be called Czechoslovakia"

Her: "I don't know where that is"

Me: "Prague?" :shrug: <-I actually shrugged at that point

Her: "You're talking to the wrong person."

Me: "Do you know where Germany is?"

Her: "Yeah! My boyfriend's BMW is from Germany, I think."

Me: "Nah, they're made in Australia."

Her: "Oh, yeah...I think you're right."

Then she grabs my asparagus, swipes it across the reader, and the price doesn't come up.

Her: "Can I get a manager on checkout 2?"

Manager: "What's going on?"

Her: "What are these?"

Manager: "Asparagus. PLU ####"

Her: "But, they're white."

I actually walked out of that store dumber than when I walked in.

1. None of that is important.

What's really important is for kids to learn that same sex marriage is wrong.
