So Meg and I are watching some reality cooking show on the Food Network, which is being filmed in New Orleans…

During a commercial break she asks nonchalantly… “New Orleans??? Isn’t Orville Redenbacher from New Orleans?”

“No… No” I say, “I think he’s from Indiana.”

She furrows her brow and thinks for a moment mumbling under her breath… “Who… Who am I thinking of???” and then with a self satsified smirk she states triumphantly… “Oh… It’s that Sanders guy. The Kentucky Fried Chicken guy… He’s from New Orleans!”

“Ummm… Are you serious” I say, with a half hearted laugh. “You think the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy… Is from New Orleans??? Really??? You’re serious?”, thinking she must be joking, however the look of utter confusion that was washing over her face was screaming sincerity.

“Well…” I say slowly, “I don’t know him personally, but if I had to guess, I’d say the Kentucky Fried Chicken guy is probably from Kentucky!”

She starts to laugh in spite of herself, and turns red as I add “On the bright side you were born pretty… Just marry rich.”

I’m just sayin’…
