Really?

For this weeks weekend recap, I'm going to make fun of a random stranger. This weekend has been pretty busy but not with anything exciting. Just family get togethers, BBQs, and running errands.

Yesterday, while I was out running errands, I wore one of my favorite T-shirts. It has a picture of Shakespeare and the words "You Discussed Me". While I was at a sporting goods store, the cashier laughed at my shirt thinking the you discussed me comment was funny. Then he said, "Who's that guy, is he somebody famous?"

If you don't know it's Shakespeare, the you discussed me line isn't even funny. So I thought he was joking. But he asked again, "Who is that?"

"It's Shakespeare," I managed to say without rolling my eyes. I mean he does work as a cashier in a sporting goods store, but seriously? Are people really that dumb?

I like my shirt, I just didn't think there were really people over the age of 12 who wouldn't be able to comprehend the literary joke. So that's the highlight of my weekend. My gag T-shirt was to high brow for the hoi polloi.

Oh, and happy Memorial Day.
