Funny story before I forget it
Went to the bar Nolan's on Thursday for the kickball playoffs after party. After several drinkerings I'm waiting at the upstairs bar and start chatting up this white chick that's next to me. I notice her accent and ask "Is that New Zealand?" to which she replies, "No, South Africa".
For some reason (read: I'm a jerk) that prompts me to say, "Oh! Hey, good job on getting rid of that apartheid thing." Here's a lesson, people from South Africa don't find apartheid funny at all. So she shakes her head and is just silent, so to break the tension I said "Well atleast you guys are taking care of the AIDS now."
She tells me that's the work she's doing in DC because percentage-wise AIDS is just as bad in DC. She tells me that 1 in every 10 people have HIV in DC. Before I completely alienate the girl I HELD back my witty retort of "Well than I guess that means I'll make out with the 9 other girls at the bar".
See, I can have restraint.
