This reminds me: There's an entire state filled with ignorant red meat addicts that think "vegetarian" means you don't eat pork and cattle. I'm talking about Iowa. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered an alleged "vegetarian" dinner that ended up having chicken - and yes, sometimes even pork - mixed in with it somewhere. Try to send it back
and they look at you like you're crazy.

An old girlfriend of mine had to cook for her ailing Iowan grandmother for a week. One night she served her some white rice with her meal. The grandmother roared with hysterical laughter because the rice didn't have any meat in it, not knowing that that was how almost everyone else
in the world served rice. To my girlfriend's embarassment, that story was passed around her family for weeks afterwards as one of the strangest and funniest things anyone in her family had ever done. I'm telling you these, people have serious problems.

I once got arrested for smuggling books into Iowa, but they had to let me go................They couldn't PROVE they were books. ba da bing
