People in Florida were interviewed last week and did not know what Memorial day was all about.
They thought it was "national barbeque day"

This is real. Alot of people don't even know the capital of their own state. This is what happens when you don't learn your geography,

Very true.
Also if people would learn geography, they would know to not always believe what the weather man/lady says.
