This was on Overheard in New York the other day and it just seems to fit so perfectly into a number of threads going on now... I know it's a bit off topic, but it just fits.
Southern tourist: Is this Roosevelt Island?
NY woman: No, this is Roosevelt Avenue, in Queens.
Southern tourist: What? So it is Roosevelt Island?
NY woman: No, I said it is not Roosevelt Island. This is the Roosevelt Avenue stop. You are in Queens.
Southern tourist: I don't understand, am I on Roosevelt Island?
Suit: Ma'am, you are in Queens right now, specifically, Roosevelt Avenue. Roosevelt Avenue is not the same as Roosevelt Island. If you want to be at Roosevelt Island, you have to take the train going in the other direction about three stops. Either way, get off the damn train and quit delaying the rest of us.
Southern tourist: Why won't anybody answer my question?
NY woman: You know what? This is Roosevelt Island, we're all wrong. Get off.
Southern tourist: Was that so hard?
