The Shocking Truth

A Greek girl who works with Jake asked him the other day, "So, is it true that Americans are grossed out by the idea of eating octopus?"

He told her that there are probably some people living in the United States who like eating octopus, but that by and large, yes, Americans are grossed out by the idea of eating octopus.

"Really?" she said, shocked. "I thought that was just an urban legend."

  1. I was going to write how the Greeks are also surprised that we don't like hairy women, but that wouldn't be politically correct.

  3. Dave loves calamari. I guess that's as close as we come to octopus.
