Ignorance is everywhere

We were moving quickly and and ran into a nearby Burger King to grab a quick sandwich (not a burger, by the way).

Somehow in the course of the transaction Elaine mentioned to the person behind the counter that we are here visiting from Puerto Rico. The counter-person said, "Oh, are you missionaries to the poor natives down there?"

WTF??!!!

Elaine really wanted to go educate the poor fellow but we didn't really have time. We talked about it and brainstormed possible responses. Our best one was, "No. We're missionaries from Puerto Rico here to help ignorant norteamericanos.

In the end we decided to leave it alone, that this particular reeducation task was just more than we could take on.
