Thanks for checking in, Doc!

I traveled to PA once all alone when I was young and mandated to attend a week-long company training. I didn't know where the fk I was...driving around looking for my hotel...

The kicker was I was a vegetarian at the time, and went into a shop to get lunch, and no one could believe that I did not want a Philly Cheesesteak...while I was in Pennsylvania... Some California tard wanting food.
