Replying to Americans Are Better At Everything

I had late lunch a short while ago with my buddy from Colorado and his friend visiting from Utah for a fortnight. I instantly knew I wouldn't get along with him, but had to make due. My friend went to the bathroom and I was left with this other guy. I was checking the news in the meantime and read this headline:


"100 cars in pile-up, 5 seriously injured in Kuopio."

This is the biggest and gnarliest pile-up in Finnish history and miraculously no one even died, the last big one was maybe six years ago. I think it's pretty crazy and tell this guy from Utah what happened. His reaction, I swear, was this:

"Psssh! So what, we have way bigger pile-ups like that like...every other week, that's nothing."



REALLY. Is that something to brag about? What the fuck, man.
