The other day I popped into a grocery store to get some dark chocolate and cheddar cheese (the one for dessert, the other for grilled cheeses to go with some cabbage soup I had whipped up).
The cashier was this very calm (middle-aged) (thin) (African) woman, and her nametag said "Adam".
When I got up to the front of the line, I asked her if her name was really "Adam".
"Oh yes," she was like, "I am from Gambia, Adam is a unisex name there."
"Cool," I was like. "Then is your husband Eve?".
She laughed, and was like "No, I am not married!".
"All right," I was like, "Then is your boyfriend Eve?".
And, at that comeback, she laughed even harder.
Africans can have such weird senses of humor, but I appreciate how they laugh at everything.
