"Are You Russian?"

       I'm not joking about this, it actually happened to me. I was in the line-up at Walmart in the states, and the man in front of me turned around and asked, in the most epic Russian accent and with a twitchy eye,
       "Are you Russian?"
       I was taken aback at this random question.
       "Am I Russian? Umm, no, but my gramma is!"
       To which he responded, "No, no, are you RUSSIAN?"
       "Am I Russian..."
       "Are you Russian?"
       "Uh."
       Finally; "Are you in a hurry? Are you RUSHING?"
       "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH am I rushing?" (I blush furiously I'm sure)
       "You have less than us," he said, "You can go ahead of us in line."
       I did, and as I left Walmart, I turned around to give him and his wife a final glance. He was standing there looking after me with an indiscernible expression on his intimidating face, with that twitching eye. I felt like I would see him again someday. I had no idea if that was good or bad.
       But it was pretty epic. And awkward.
