Horrifying Date Quote of the Week

Here's a new feature highlighting some of the more bizarre things I have heard on dates in New York City,

This week's entry comes from a young lady born and raised in California. She was nice enough, if a bit dull.

We were discussing the Native American dancing that I saw at the Shad Festival on Sunday and she launched into a strange talk about how her American history classes in sunny California's schools seemed to be only about "Indians."

When I said that I hadn't encountered the same thing in New York schools, she said, "Well, you guys didn't have Indians here, right?"

The only word is speechless.

She actually has two entries in this feature, but I'll save the other one for a bit later.

Circy -

Sure. A "friend" of yours heard "some girl" say that. Of course.

In other news, it's becoming clear that I will die alone.

I must side with circy on this one. I was doing a friend a favor in NYC about 5-6 years ago and took this hot chick out who was coming up from Alabama for a few days for job interviews and such. We went on a date to Swing 46 a big band music club on 46th street. 1 of only 2 perfect 1st dates. We had a great time talked about everything and we stayed until the club closed. The date continued as we walked 40 something blocks to the upper east side. I was thinking wow, maybe she'll get a job here and we could keep dating. Well, a few blocks from the door she started talking about how credit cards were created by the devil, and you can figure out the end of world was by the numbers, and all sorts of kooky credit card Revelations stuff came out of this girls vocal piece. I was horrified. At the end of the date I gave her a big hug and said goodbye. I wasn't going to kiss her and catch this "apocalyptic stupidity virus" floatimg around her little head. I had to tell my friend that we had a great date but it probably wouldn't work out and explained about Satan's credit card company and stuff and she apologized profusely.

Paramus or rather "Perampsus" as the Lenni Lenape called it. Means "where there is fertile land" or "A fertile land where corn was grown attracting wild turkeys". Which if transposed into todays vernacular "Land of the strip mall where a sucker is born every minute and a seat for every ass is placed"

So yes dave there are some amazingly stooooopid gals out there.

And Circy, dinosaurs and people do exist. Just go to the Hummer dealer on 17 north in Perampsus and you'll see the peeps giving their dinosaurs up on a regular basis.

A. I don't think it's a date if someone else is paying for her dinner!

B. I will never set you up on another date again!

Your reading comprehension is horrible. The post is about somebody from CALIFORNIA.

I'll wait while you figure it out.

The end of the world connection to credit cards is actually in Deuteronomy.

"...And I never dated anyone who was that stupid."

I know what you guys are saying hanging around the water cooler, " Yeah she says that and she married a guy who got his ass stuck in a cannon?"

Your date must have been attending protests while they reviewed North Eastern native American history.

Hint a) Massapequa

Hint b) Manhattan (something about being bought for trinkets)

Hint c) anything ending in '...gansett'

Dave - try the on-line thing. It worked for me. Basically, you can weed out the nut jobs without having to buy anyone dinner.
