Social Security automated system: Please say the name of the state or territory where you were born.

Me: American Samoa.

Social Security automated system: I think you said TEXAS. Is this correct?

Somehow, that computer had more trouble hearing than I have.

Ari, you are the thinnest Samoan I know.

Yeah... that word is not even CLOSE. Stupid Texans, ruining everything they touch.

that reminds me of the E.T. ride at Universal Studios that we went on when we were on the trip to California with the BHS band. At the beginning of the ride, they asked you your name, and as you got off the ride, E.T. said ' phone home' or something like that. One of the people I went on the ride with, maybe the lead horn (?), gave some random name, like 'lobster'. Apparently, E.T. couldn't pronounce it. So that person was "friend". It was very funny at the time.
