So we're sitting around the table at Monte's parents house with his nephew Jordan, who is a senior in high school this year. Last year Jordan went on a mission trip to El Salvador, and the topic under discussion was whether he would go on a second mission trip in the spring.
MONTE: "So, these mission trips . . . where all can ya go?"
JORDAN: "Well, there's El Salvador, Chile, Peru . . . "
MONTE: (with a silly smirk on his face) "Des Moines?"
JORDAN: "No, I don't think we go to Italy."
What makes this funnier is the kid is making reasonably good grades in school. Well, I would guess in everything but geography.
