74. It's not just young people!

Here's a couple stories of my former co-workers that I recently shared here. They were not young!

I assure you that these are TRUE stories! I just hope that the people described are among the dumbest 1% in the country or something.

I worked at a factory where an immigrant from Russia (she was an Ahiskan Turk) was preparing for her citizenship test. I looked through the booklet and said, "Wow, these questions are easy!"

A Vietnamese-American in the area overheard me and said, "I guarantee with you... those stupid women over there don't know answers!" I replied, "They wouldn't know there's 50 stars on the flag or that the stars represent the 50 states? C'mon!" He answered, "Mudda fugga, I work with them before. You ask them at break!" (He often used "mudda fugga" to start his sentences, by the way.)

The three white women in question were about 45 to 60 years of age, and their typical work consisted of cleaning parts and packaging them.

Long story short, they did NOT seem to know anything! I eventually asked, "Okay, who was the first President of the United States? You know that one, right?" Nope! "He's on the one dollar bill! Who is that?" One of them replied, "We're not in school anymore!"

A Vietnamese-American co-worker was asked by other co-workers how he arrived in this country. He started to mention part of his travel on a boat and someone interjected, "Oh! I think I saw that on TV years ago! Were you one of those boat people who kept showing up in Florida?" He silently stared at her for a moment and then changed gears. "I mostly swim here! I swim across Pacific ocean! I'm number one, world-class swimmer!" Several people asked him if that's what he really did! He looked over at me, shook his head and smirked.
