When I first arrived in the US I was warned by more experienced travelers that Americans are insular.
So I shouldn't be surprised that soon after one of them provided proof.
I was working on July 4th when one of the nurses came across and asked me, "How do they celebrate July 4th in England?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes, how do they celebrate America's Independence Day in England?"
After I picked my jaw up off the floor, I said, "It is a sad commemoration of that dreadful day when the ungrateful colonialists rose up in insurrection against the lawful rule of his gracious Majesty King George."
"Oh," she said. "Are there fireworks?"
"Yes. IN MY HEAD!"
