Regarding foreign language and the human senses

A submission from a good friend of mine:
Someone asked her the following, "Do you have to learn Spanish to work at Taco Bell?" They weren't joking, it was a legitimate question. Which brings me to the question of, have they ever gone to a Taco Bell? If not, I highly suggest they do before applying to work there, and if they have, I really want to know what Taco Bell has Spanish speaking workers.

On another note, I made a scientific breakthrough today. Are you aware that there is a distinct connection between your hearing, and whether or not you are wearing your glasses? A woman today, upon being asked something by someone across the room, told them to hold on because she couldn't hear him, put on her glasses, and asked him to repeat himself.
Scientific breakthrough. I could win a Nobel prize or something for this.

Linear thinking, you're not really doing it right.

Today, I wore my Holocaust Remembrance bracelet to school. Now unless you're very familiar with either Hebrew, or common Holocaust symbols, the bracelet doesn't make much sense until it's explained. Needless to say, I answered a lot of questions about what my bracelet meant. Fine, no big deal here.

No, here's the kicker folks, about 75% of the people who asked about my bracelet followed up my response with something along the lines of  "The Holocaust? That's with Jewish people right? Are you Jewish?" or "So you're Jewish right?"

Oh. I wasn't aware that wanting to remember the victims of the Holocaust (not all of whom were Jewish mind you), meant you were Jewish. Glad that was cleared up for me.
