At the very least, we get better scores in civics class. :nerdy:

I was complimented on how I dressed for an interview which made me happy. The interviewer said people rarely showed up in a suit and said some people were showing up in unformal clothing (like Pajamas) which kind of made me scratch my head internally :lol: I never had any compliment me before on it so it was nice to hear that it was appreciated.

Actually, a few minutes after I was born they gave me a citizenship test and told me if I failed I'd be deported back to my mother's uterus /j

In all seriousness, it won't be long before the citizenship test just checks whether you're rich and white.

Well, they're doubling the price to about $1500, then there's travel and hotel expenses, and the cost of getting all the documents together, so all in all it's already something of a rich man's game. The green card was even more costly, because that's harder so it's wise to hire a lawyer - if you fail that one then being in the USA at all can get difficult. As for being white, I'm white myself and was surprised how quickly they gave me an interview, but there may have been other reasons for that.

Ain't that the truth

Just look how miserable Alan Sugar and Rupert Murdoch look in spite of their big achievements in grabbing vast quantities of money and trophy wives. 'Tis the gift to be simple.

Did another gig and went down quite well. The acoustics at the venue are a pleasure to use. I love showing off as long as it's well-received.

Also discovered that somebody I know hates Trump. It's a rare quality in rural Arkansas.
