Seriously, she said it!

I am a nerd and rarely listen to music on the radio because I am either listening to Francene, Terry Miners or everything on NPR. I was on my way home from work sometime last week and Terry had some entertainment writer from here on his show. They started to talk about Tom Cruise's new movie (the Nazi movie) and I will, in my own way, describe the conversation from there. I don't remember her name so I will call her "Girl" for the sake of the story.

TM - Who won World War II?

Dead air

TM - Do you know who won the war?
GIRL - Oh, are you talking to me?
TM - Yeah. You know, it's kind of like the Olympics. You forget who won a few years after it happens.

Dead air

TM - Did Germany win?
GIRL - I don't know, I must have slept through that class.


Really. Really? WTF? It went on for a little after that but that's the meat and taters of the conversation. I could tell in his voice he really wanted to laugh. I was. She sounded like an idiot who really concentrated hard on who knows what but decided to check out when it came time to store relavent facts while she was in school.

I don't know.
