One of my customers
has a receptionist who proudly displays a Confederate flag above her computer monitor, right there in the office.
I’ve never said anything, but it always made me wonder, because she is black, and built like Grace Jones.
So One day I’m standing there and mentioned the flag, and she said “I LOVE the british. I love watching BBC tv! I watch it all the time! When I saw that at a truck stop on my way home from vacation one day, I HAD to have it!!”
I’m not going to be the one to point out to her that a confederate flag is not a union jack.

Wow. Just. Wow.
Bless her heart.
Oh. My. Goodness.
Just damn, as the late Acidman used to say.
It would be really hilarious if she bought the thing just to mess with customers.
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is she?
Good choice. It’s better to leave the oblivious alone in their happiness.
Please find her a Union Jack. Leave it for her and let her figure out the difference.
I LOLed.
So what was yor first reaction? :)
I had to countercheck my facts, but my first impression is also that this was pretty ironic, yes?
Indeed. In the south, a Confederate flag usually means “Klan”
That’s what I thought!
