What Are We? Swiss Cheese?

Overheard in New York has not been all that interesting in the past number of months. It has become an almost constant stream of sex-related stuff with people saying stupid and raunchy stuff. But every now and then one or two come along. As a Wisconsinite living in Minnesota now this one was fun. They must have seen the Packer fans on the frozen tundra....

Male cashier: "WI"? Which state is "WI"?
Female cashier: West Indies?
Male cashier: Okay. That makes sense.
Female cashier: No, wait, is it Wisconsin? Ha, it's totally Wisconsin.
Male cashier: Who cares, they're both really far away. Isn't Wisconsin on, like, the other side of the world?
Female cashier: No, dummy, Wisconsin is in this country.
Male cashier: Oh. I was never good at geography.

But don't worry. Local geography can get quite confusing as well. Just overhear this one...

Meter maid cop: Excuse me, can you tell me what street this is?
Woman: It's 25th... Aren't you supposed to know?!
Meter maid cop: Yeah, but sometimes we get lost.

But geography isn't the only problem. I was going to post this one in March but I missed it...

HS girl #1: What's that Friday right before Easter? I think it's Passover, right?
HS girl #2: Yo, you know Easter was created by the Easter Orthodox Church?

But, as always, the tourists are always the most fun. So we end on the Left Bank, or somewhere like that.

College girl #1: Which way to the Eiffel Tower?
Suit, puzzled, pointing East: That way?
College girl #2: How far is it?
Suit: ... About three thousand miles.
College girl #1: No! No! [Makes peak with fingertips of both hands.] The... Eiffel... Tower!
Suit: Yeah, that way about three thousand miles -- across the Atlantic Ocean -- in Paris.
College girl #2, also making peak with hands: No! No! It's a... It's a... The Empire State Building!
Suit, pointing at looming Empire State Building: The Empire State Building is right there.
College girl #2: You have to excuse us -- we're from Oregon.

• Just a quick note: The public WiFi at my coffee shop doesn't allow me to go to Overheard in New York. Which may only go to prove that they have become raunchy. Either that or the tourism board doesn't want to scare the tourists away with the fact that people listen in on conversations.
