A Not-So-Obvious Question
npr:
So I’m getting my visa at Beirut’s airport this afternoon and the immigration officer says, “I need to ask you a question.”
“Okay,” I said.
“Please spell obvious.”
“Excuse me?” I replied.
“Perhaps I did not ask correctly; spell obvious, please.”
“You mean O B V I O U S?”
“Yes,” he continued. “Now please pronounce it.”
“Obvious.”
“So it is OB-vi-ous and not ob-VI-ous in English?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, you may go now. Welcome to Lebanon.”- @acarvin
