A conversation with an ignorant.

The following event took place only half hour ago and i wanted to share it with you.
i was visiting a friend of mine,and when i decided to leave i had to take a taxi since the metro stations were closed after midnight..
I stopped a taxi and got in,the driver was about 30 years old.
I got a call from a Syrian friend and talked in Arabic..the driver looked at me and asked :where do you come from? i replied:Syria..

After 2 minutes:
he:Is there any cars in Syria?
i looked at him expecting to see a smile on his face indicating that he is joking,but i didn't,he was serious..i said to myself:well here is another ignorant guy..usually i correct their info but this time i was in mood for playing..and these conversation took place.
Me:no,at all,we have only horses and camels to ride.
He:how about houses?
Me:no..we live in tents..each family in one tent.
He:it must be difficult.
Me:yes,esp that Syria is all desert and we don't have any rivers or sea.
He:But how do you go to toilets then?
Me:toilets?we don't have to,remember we live in the desert.
He:so?
Me:the sun is so strong so it takes all the water inside our body so we don't have to piss.
He:aha,that's right.what animals you have there?
Me:there is the Syrian tigers and the Anaconda.
He:what is Anaconda?
me:a 60 meter long snake..
He:wow it's huge..it must be dangerous to live there.
Me:yes,i had 4 brothers who were been killed by Babyeaters.
He:what is Babyeater?
me:it's an animal that eats babies.
he:i never heard of it.
Me:it lives only in Syria.
he:i see..but you look like a Russian.
Me:yes,because of the heavy sun,sometimes babies born in strange shapes,some born like Japanese and some like other races.
He:oh i see,you must be so lucky.
Me:offcourse i am.

We reached my destination,payed,thanked him and thanked God i am not like him.
But after all i don't blame him,a guy who never went to school and drive his car all the time to get money for him and probably his family..
So thanks God million times that i am is what i am now.

Hypno, I didnt know you lived in New York City? 😉

Haha,there are ignorants outside NY..you people are not alone,but you are the best 😛

I just hope you tipped him a few Drachma, or whatever currency you Transylvanians carry.....he probably has three generations of family living together in a corrugated tin hut!

Man, we don't get to have Babyeaters over here ... other countries are so damn lucky.

That's not fair .. why can't we have them too?

"I just hope you tipped him a few Drachma, or whatever currency you Transylvanians carry"

🙂
No,i am not a Greek nor Romanian..our currency called Gryven.

Haha..look at the ads below..
Anacondas for sale hahaha.
You gotta love Google ads.

Just for the sake of conversation:

"Forget the stock market. If you're in the possession of a NYC taxi medallion, you're sitting on a goldmine. A retiring Pakistani driver who'd been driving a cab in New York for the last 25 years sold his medallion Wednesday (Jun 1st 2007) for a staggering $ 600,000 -- an all-time record for such a sale. The medallion, which gives cab drivers the right to operate legally in the city, cost $ 30,000 when it was purchased in 1981. The new owner is a taxi fleet operator who already owns somewhere around 100 medallions."

Are you serious?^^


Hypno: You've only perpetuated his ignorance...even if it was funny.

THE SCOTSMAN

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he drank more than his share
He fumbled around until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
She crept up on that sleeping scotsman as quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold unto their view beneath his scotish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
They marveled for a moment than one said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
Around the bonny star the scot's kilt did lift and show
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards the trees
Behind the bush he lifts his kilt and gasps at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
Och lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize!

"yes,because of the heavy sun,sometimes babies born in strange shapes,some born like Japanese and some like other races"

...Bahahahahahaha!

Hypno, don't feel bad people are very ignorant about other countries. You would be surprised the questions I get about Israel (lived there for 15 years) Oh and not to mention West Africa - Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Shaka,i did that not because i feel superior to him or cuz i am offended or something..i did that just because it's my nature..i always try to tease my friends and make fun of them...and they know i am just fooling around..many of them fall for that..
one time,i was sitting with about 10 of my friends when i said:do you that if you stand in the center of the Northern Pole you can see the whole world with your eyes?
One of them jumped excited and said:yes yes,i heard about that..
And you can imagine the amount of laughings we had on him..lol

Besides,this taxi driver has something beyond ignorant..
I mean,you could not know Geography to know there is a sea in Syria.
And you could not know in animals to hear about Babyeaters or to know that there is no tigers or anaconda in Syria..
And you could not know about histroy to realize that Syria isn't still in middle ages with no cars or houses..
But how could he fall for something like "there is no need for pissing"..

"How about the long dresses on men"

Well FS,i never wore it in my life,and all the coastal areas people don't wear it too..you can find it only in the lands near the Iraqi borders..
Yes,they wear something underneath,sometimes shorts and sometimes that thing people wear under the jeans in cold weather i don't what it called.
I like the Scottish manly skirt..esp when Jonathan Davis "the leader of Korn" wear it..it's so cool.

My dear Pluto,i heard you the first time..no need to repeat it 3 times..
Sometimes you become so clingy on me 😛

Shaka,there are these 2 theories..people are driven by highr power (God),so all his actions,moves and conditions are set for him from the begining,every little thing..so i thank God for giving me a good life.
Or people has the choice always and can control their life as they wish,and in that way i thank God for giving me a good condetions and chances to improve my life..
In either way,i wasn't insulting him,i was thanking God for having a good life..
I am not snobbish,Shaka..you should know that.
