Conversation with a mother at a college fair over the weekend.

Mom: Oh, your school is near Clemson!
Me: ... um, no. Clemson is in South Carolina. We're in North Carolina.
Mom: There are two of them??
Me: ... two what? Carolinas?
Mom: Yes!
Me: *headdesk*

I...would be surprised, except I've just been editing data from a college fair in which "caucasion" was listed as one of the ethnicities.

*headdesk*

(Also, someone should let that woman know about West Virginia. It'll blow her mind.)

The mind blowing triumverate of Carolina, Virginia, and Dakota. Split personalities, all of them.

Caucasion? Oh lord. Spell check, people.

Right now it's fighting for stupidest question with the comment from a girl a few months ago...

Girl: So, do you allow drugs on campus?
Me: ... like aspirin, or like heroin?
Girl: *considers* Both.
Me: Yes to aspirin, and since heroin is a Schedule I drug and it's use, consumption and distribution is prohibited by the federal government, no.
Girl: *considers again* Huh.
Me: *really needs a drink*
