European, or You're a Peon?

This is just too damn funny! Didn't he consider that I *might* not be from Europe, and *might* by a little insulted with this?

In response to: Wit and Sarcasm Out The Wazoo

Your ad was interesting but long. You are probably from Europe. It takes a European to know one. You are probably finding out many people here are not too socially developed especially nowadays. If you are all those things you say you are then you are a cut above the rest and will have trouble finding people on your level. The average person is not all that well developed here. Enough said on this, many ads look like they came from the same recipe, don't you think? A description of me: Blonde, Blue-eyed, moustache, no beard a midget (2'2"). Do you believe i'm a midget? Of course not, I'm really 6' 2". Although on the Internet you can anyone you want to be? Don't you think so? How do you know if I'm for real? You'll just have to meet me in person to satisfy your curiosity. We can have lunch or a drink or maybe even both. I'll tell you the hidden dead giveaway why you are from Europe(but only in person). The next thing you have to do is to let me know what's your name, what's your number(Vicki Sue Robinson Song)or e-mail address. My e-mail address is: ______________. See you soon.

Lorina: OH, YEAH!!! I'm sooo European -- much more suave and sophisticated and educated than the underdeveloped dirty Americans! Ha, ha! At least most of the "people here" don't complain about an ad that's more than 10 words long. Dumbass. (whispering) What this guy doesn't know is that we have secretly replaced the European Lorina with a coal cracker from a small hick town in Northeast Pennsylvania.

Jen: OMG, that's why we were picked on so much in HS....we're YURRO-PEE-ONS.

Lor, you HAVE to write back to this guy just to find out what the 'secret' is--what a pompous ass!!

Lorina: Ok... Now I have a mission!

Note: I don't have the message I sent, or really remember what I said...

Hi Lori,

This is how I know you're from Europe. I received e-mail from European pen pals (a couple from Europe, she from France, He from Switzerland). The Europeans are ever so proper in the way they address someone when they write, since their English is the "pure" Oxford English which is what is taught throughout Europe, not the slang "American" english. They would always start with Greetings. Thats how I know you were from Europe and spoke Oxford English from England and only when you came to America did you mix some of that proper Oxford English with that American slang. It shows up in your writing by golly. Do you still speak with an Oxford English accent?

You are of greek descent? How do I know this? Hint: Its not your face or hair that gives this away? Hint#2: Its in the picture. That's why they say a picture is worth a 1000 words!!!

I also know of a movie that has captured your attention?

Lorina: Wow... I guess all the picnic tables in Greece need a paint job... or they have lots of crab apple trees there.

Jen: You Greek Goddess!!! Heheheh...bet the poor guy would be humbled to know we're all a little bit a' polski in Da Valley. Far from Thebes and the Queen's English.
