Because They're Different Than Us

So, today I made a faux pas that may or may not have insulted Brad Paisley and, by proxy, his wife.

Scene: Elliston Place Soda Shop

Plot: My boss was getting food from the Goldrush. I was thirsty and wanted to get a drink from the Soda Shop. Oddly enough, they sell sodas. Well, I had noticed that there were some new pictures on the wall signed by some of today's hottest and biggest country stars! Woot! So, of course, I had to make fun. Maybe not so much fun, per se, but I was my boisterously loud self. Go me.

Me "So, you get lots of country stars here, huh?"
Waitress "Yeah, I guess we do."
Me [moment perusing the pictures again]
Me "I don't really recognize anyone up there, except LeAnn Rimes."
Waitress [horrified look]
Me [not really getting it]
Me [in bad country accent to waitress scrubbing a shelf] "Better scrub them shelves good!"
Waitress [horrified look]
Boss "Is it good, or well?"
Me [in a bad country accent] "Good, since we're in the country."
Me [laughter]
Boss [laughter]
Waitress [horrified look]

And we exit without really looking around or talking to any of the patrons.

So, my boss turns to me after we turn the corner.

Boss "Do you know who that was in there?!"
Me "Who?"
Boss "That was Brad Paisley and his wife! (who was on According to Jim, I guess)"
Boss [maniacal laughter that makes me think she's going to pass out]

Then she proceeds to tell everyone at work while I google Brad Paisley.

Scene.
