why are people so proud of ignorance?

[Black Lazerus]

I was in the store yesterday and asked one of the store people where to find the Twine, she had no idea what I was talking about. now this is a American white person i was speaking to, so I say " you know the stuff you tie up news papers with?". and she goes "oh you mean rope"? she tell s me what isle it's in and i grab 2. as a pass her i give her one and say " this is what twine is see it says twine right on the package rope is what you tie people up with" and go get my things rung up.
