Have you experienced the "Hey, do you know..." effect?
At first I experienced it on a small scale. Someone would ask where I had last lived, I'd give them the town name, and they'd say, "Jacksonville? Hey, do you know Chris?"
Jacksonville is a pretty damn big place. No, I don't know Chris.
Then I changed states. The same thing happened. "Florida? Hey, did you know Suzy?"
No, idiot, Florida is a huge state which actually crosses a timezone. I don't know Suzy, and if she's as dumb as the person who asked me that question I don't want to know her.
Then I went to Wales for a few years. "Oh, you're American? Do you know Paul?"
Let's back up a minute. Over a 250,000,000 people in the country and you ask if I know Paul? Are you freaking KIDDING?
I'm 38 years old. Perhaps I'll live long enough for space travel to become available common folk. You know what will happen, though.
My alien host will ask, "you're from Earth, Bill? Hey, do you know Rob Smith?"
"Yes," I'll reply.
Common ground at last!
Yip, I think it is one of those dreaded moments in lIfe that almost every single human being has experienced. What's worse is if they ask: "Do you know Debbie? (Or some common name)" and you say "No" and they start explaining how she looks and who she knows and where she works and all that crap and the more you say you dont know her, the more they try to get a yes out of you and it starts getting so damn annoying that eventually you want to explode and just say:"Yes, yes I forgot, I know her, uhm, yes, I know her."
Some people force you to lie, like in this case.
