INDIANA

While waiting in lobby before a meeting at the US Embassy, I had this interaction with a security guard. 

 

–       “Which country do you belong, Sir?” 

 

 

 

–        Of course, I say “America” 

 

 

 

–        To which he says, “Do you live in Indiana?

 

–         Of course, I ask why?  I ask and think at the same time, why is he asking me, has he been there? Does he have family there? Because the Ambassador Roemer (technically kind of his boss) is from Indiana?” 

 

 

 

–        Then with a big smile says, “No, Indiana must have a lot of Indians in Indiana – Sir, India / Indiana” . . .

 

–        Was he joking? Worthy of a head bobble thats for sure. 

 

 

 

Only in Indiana.. I mean India…hey, both have great basketball, yaar 🙂
