Boy: Wait, so like do you live in the river?
His Friend: No man, MS is a state.
Boy: Well, I've only heard of the river. Thought that'd be interesting to live in a river. Do you live in a town?
When Madeleine's cousin, Dorothy, was driving us around the city we saw two black guys pulled over on the side of the road and hand-cuffed up against the cop's car.
Dorothy: Whoa! I know you guys are from MS so you may see this often, but I've never seen anything like that here! I didn't even know there were black people in Scotland.
People love to spell it out for ya like this, because that's all they know about MS.
People: M-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-crooked letter-crooked letter-I-humpback-humpback-I
Me: Great. You can spell :)
A girl I met at the Scottish festival dance from Oxford, England.
Girl: Hmmm, MS?
Me: Yeah, it's in the states, in the south.
Girl: Oh! Like Wisconsin?!
Me: No, like opposite. More like deep south. Southeast.
Girl: Oh oh! Wyoming?! (with such a matter of a fact tone)
Me: No no but it's okay.
Girl: Well, I've only been to Florida, New York, and California. (Apparently that's where they all visit if they go to America.)
