I went out with a lawyer in his late 30s last week. Things were looking promising, by which I mean he looked like his internet pictures and could hold a conversation. Then the following happened...
Me: "I'm a vegetarian, but I'm not super strict about it. Like, if I'm in another country where vegetarian food isn't available or I can't communicate in the language, I'll eat meat."
Lawyer: "So basically you'd eat meat anywhere outside of the US or Canada?"
Me: "Well I speak Spanish, so it would really have to be outside of North and South America."
Lawyer: "Oh. But in Argentina you'd be able to eat meat!"
Me: "Um, they speak Spanish in Argentina."
Lawyer: "Really? What's the country in South America where they don't speak Spanish?"
Me: "Brazil. They speak Portuguese."
Lawyer: "Are you sure?"
Yes. I'm sure.
