Ok, I've had friends and relatives actually ask me this BUT here's the dialogue of what happened to me this morning:

I'm at the Red Lion Hanalei Hotel in San Diego. If you have never been there, let me say that it is Tropical/Hawaiian, with dozens, and I mean DOZENS of tiki figures around; either stand alone, on the wall or used as the posts on the fences. I walk into the gift shop and.....

Me: "Wow! with all the tikis around the hotel, you would think there would be some here in the gift shop for sale!"

Gift Shop Employee: "Excuse me?" (with a bewildered look on her face).

Me: "Oh, I said, with all the tikis around the hotel, you would think there would be some here in the gift shop for sale."

Gift Shop Employee: "Tikis? What are Tikis?" (Still with a bewildered look)

Me: "You're kidding right?"

Gift Shop Employee: "Umm...no, what are tikis?"

Me: Now I have a bewildered look, as I lead her out of the Gift Shop to show here about 5 of them just outside the shop.

Gift Shop Employee: "OOOHHH! That's what those are!....interesting!"

Me: Thinking that it's got to be at least her second day on the job..."Oh, you must have just started here, huh?"

Gift Shop Employee: "No, I've been here 2 years."

Me: looking around for Mr. Funt from Candid Camera to come out of nowhere..."umm...ok....have a nice day", as I leave.

Incredible! Can you truly be around multiples of ANYTHING around your workplace and NOT know what it is? Is it just me?

What the hec are Tikis?

Thanks for letting me vent.
