Da Schneib notes that Sandi does not know what newspapers he reads.

That sounds familiar somehow.

So who is having a revolution? Wait, nevermind. Dunt matter. Anything that happens outside the U.S. is irrelevant. In fact I'm not entirely convinced there is anything outside the U.S. I've never seen it, after all. Occasionally, despite my best efforts, news trickles in about some sort of goings-on over there. "Over there" being a vague nebulous concept I'm not quite sure I understand, nor am comfortable with.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

No, no, that's called a "Bible." Or "Babble." Or something.

I believe it's rather like Canada but slightly warmer, on average.
