Reminds me of a time in San Diego - I was sitting at Woolworth's lunch counter. They had beets on the menu. I overheard another person ask the waitress what beets were made of -- she said "turnips I guess". I nearly fell off my stool!!!!

It is frightening that these people will eventually be in charge of our country! It's a shame to think that the education system has been oversimplified to accommodate teaching to the test rather than giving our kids an education.

BTW Sam's does not carry cornmeal, powdered onion, or tonic water..all items I was looking for. The Tonic water through this kid for a loop as well.

So true! When people ask how to spell my last name, I have always replied" Lofthouse, like a hayloft and a house" now days I get this blank look and "what's a hayloft". Times are a changing.

Perhaps stores should require an IQ test or at least 20 questions before they hire. Glad to be a senior citizen now!

Reminds me of some of those 'supposed to be' simple questions that Jay Leno asks people on the street. Sure shows a lot of lack of knowledge in different areas of Bible, history, politics and etc. Makes you wonder about the school systems and home environments.
