American Stereotype™ walks Google's mean Street View
Gun? Check. Liquor? Check
We're fully aware that some of our UK readers have pretty well decided
that the average American wears a baseball cap, Harley-Davidson
sweatshirt, jeans and cowboy boots and walks the mean streets of the Land
of the Free with a hunting rifle while swigging from a bottle of hard
liquor.
Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth, as this snap from
Google's Street View shows: see link above for image
Splendid. Doubtless our US friend is on his way to a fellow NRA member's
trailer park home to watch the baseball while washing down pork rinds
with a coupla six-packs, as is the local custom.
Good point.
