From Overheard in New York:

Pop Quiz: To Which of These Women Is This Conversation Most Insulting?

Girlfriend: Come on, I really wanna see that movie about Jane Austen.
Boyfriend: She was the one that lived with the chimpanzees, right?
Girlfriend: No, that was Jane Seymour.

Argh.

    Wow…I’m glad my boyfriend loves Jane Austen.

    If it makes you feel any better I asked one of my friends if he knew who Victor Hugo was.
    He said, “Of course I do! He was the star of Lord of the Rings!”
    Yeah…

    I have a confession. I once made a bookmark of classics for our library. Instead of Animal Farm by George Orwell, I put Animal House. It was several months before anyone noticed.
