Today I talked to a british man and a woman from South Africa.  I thought the woman was British because her accent sounded very British.  Everyday it seems that a British person comes into the store so I wanted to get down to the bottom of why this was happening.  I mean, it just seems a little weird to me that so many different British people are in that area of town.  These occurrences have lead me to two theories.  Either there are just a lot of British people all over the world, or there is something particularly attractive about Fort Worth to them.  Thus, I began to question the woman first until she corrected me on her heritage.  She did say that South Africa was a former British colony that eventually became its own country and kicked the homeland brits out, much like what happened in the US.  To which i replied, "well then we have a lot in common."  Then not long after she left a true Englishman came in and his accent was slightly softer then the South Africans.  I told him about my theories and he said that they were both probably true.  In his words, "The British have spread all around the world like a disease."  However, he also thought that Lockheed Martin had a lot to do with it as well.  Anyhow, this entry is completely insignificant to anything going on in my life but I just wanted to write something uncontroversial.  However, this was the most interesting thing that happened to me while I was at work
