We had a band stay with us this Spring. The band was from Germany, but the drummer was from San Antonio. On the first night, we were talking about where everyone was from, and drummer talked about how his mom was from Mexico, and relayed a bit of his family history.
The next morning, I forget what we were talking about, but I said “What are you, again?” And he stood ramrod straight, and shouted “I AM AN AMERICAN!” Salute and all.
He was just teasing me, but it was really funny.
