and someone asked me where I was from.
I told him the U.S.
"Do you know Seth?" he asked.

decades ago, somewhere in Europe. The guy asked him "oh, you're from Boston. I met someone once from Seattle, is that nearby?" My grandfather replied "no, it's not close at all, but my wife's brother lives in Seattle." The guy said "Oh, well the person I met was M___ S____".
Long pause.
My grandfather replied "that's my brother in law."
True story.

"Seth," and responded that way, we'd really be in the Twilight Zone...

When he went to Kenya, a guy says, "From the U.S.? Then you must know my cousin in Texas!"
Barack says, "Well, considering I have never been to Texas, no. Sorry."
Well-played. Classy guy.

with my...rather odd ex-boyfriend, years after we'd broken up. The two guys were working together on a class project, and my friend happened to mention that he was from Missouri.
Just Missouri. He didn't even mention a city name.
Ex says, "I know a girl in Missouri. Do you know (paintitblue)?"

actually ran into my next door neighbor 5,000 miles from home in MAUI in a T-shirt shop. Neither of us knew the other was on vacation. That was a freaken weird moment

I was hiking in the mountains in the Czech Republic, just south of Poland and met a trio of Americans on top of a tall rock. One of them was from my home county. My parents knew his family. It's a wacky world.

But I was deeply saddened by all the little shelters that look like what we have for Wisconsin kids waiting at the end of the driveway for schoolbuses in the winter along the highways between Germany and Czech. With the tacky-looking prostitutes waiting alongside them waiting for some business. Deeply saddened.

and when a local found out I was from Chicago, he said, "I know someone from Chicago!"
(Yeah, right! I thought only 3 million people there). Turns out it was a classmate of mine.

turned out I did know the guys cousin, who was a grad student at my former University.

The best is when I, as an African-American, am asked if I know another African-American (anywhere in the world), just, you know, because. . . we're both black. :- )
My old boss, who is a dear, sweet, wonderful, clueless man, used to do that all the time. Bless his heart.
