true story i went to north carolina to help w/ a church camp, i was getting the boys in my cabin to settle down and go to bed, (yeah right that in itself was a joke) they where all wanting a soda, i was rather thirsty myself so i told the boys if they want a drink they must buy me a pop too, i'm waiting for them to either all tell me no buy your own or one to take a hit for the team and buy me on instead i have probally 7 preteens looking at me like i'm a complete idiot. finally one asked me what a pop was......for those who are unaware in north carolina it's a soda not a pop...i was the running joke for the rest of the week at camp...oh well it was fun
