That time when it was my first time to visit Chicago and went into one of those made-to-order restaurants that make everything, and I asked for a gyro and pronounced it "Jye-Roe" and the other patrons laughed at me and one of them said, "Is that like a gyroscope?", and the people working there asked me to leave...

Did that really happen? They actually asked you to leave?

Yeah, it was late at night and everyone in there was hella drunk from a nearby night club. I'm really not sure if the asking me to leave part was from mispronunciation or the owners thinking I was causing trouble with the other people. People from Chicago take their food very seriously.

People take their food seriously everywhere.
There are certain BBQ places down here in Tx that'll tell you to leave if you ask for any kind of sauce. It's just depends on the owner, and how big their head is.

You think these kookie SOBs are going to realize how crazy the fraud claims were? There is probably 5% that will actually admit how wrong they were. The rest are just going to make excuses and blame other things or simply believe the fraud forever.
I have a feeling he means the other way around.
psi: Your feelings are wrong. 
I agree with you metalfaith. I didn't say I thought it was going to happen, I said I hope it will!

Honest mistake.
There's plenty of people on this board who are either full Trump-Troll or just plain dumb enough to buy into the claims no matter how absurd they get. It has gotten hard to differentiate a joke about COVID from some members' insane and retarded (and genuine) musings.

USA and Metric in the same sentence, that threw me off. Now I'm confused.

Not the Metric measurement system, it's another sense of the word metric. Any kind of standard for measuring anything.

Done this many times. Also the blinking red ones and blinking yellow ones. Also stopped at a stoplight and sat through it thinking it was a stop sign through 2 cycles.
