I was at the library today and the woman working the circulation desk noticed my Gettysburg t-shirt. "Did you like living in Gettysburg?" she asked. I said that yes, I really liked it. She said that she had been thinking of moving to Gettysburg or Chambersburg, somewhere in Pennsylvania. "Well," I said, "as long as you're used to a lot of tourists," and smiled. She kind of looked at me and asked, "Oh, are there a lot of tourists in Gettysburg?" She was serious. I said that yes, there are. "Oh, because of the Civil War?" "...Yes." Hey, at least she knew that Gettysburg is in Pennsylvania.
As I was walking away, she asked whether I knew which parts of Pennsylvania are nice.
