American can either be like : 9/11 is like the worst day in the entire universe lifespan . Don't ever disrespect it, ever!
Or
I ate Mexican tacos and a few hours later, it was like 9/11 all over again in the bathroom. It was so bad that I almost melted my toilet. The keyword is almost, cause we all know jet fuel can't melt steel beams.
There's a weirder type of people that are not even Americans and act like the first type.
I think a big part of that divide is whether they were old enough to remember it. I was only a few months old on 9/11 and I've always been pretty irreverent about it.
I was in high school when it happened. I got to see the government overreach, the increased racism and jingoism masquerading as patriotism, the transition of airports, the start of a war we just finally ended, and eventually what Rudy Giuliani turned into.
But I also know a good/horrible knock knock joke about it.
Knock nock
Edit: I just realised I'm dumb, you're the one who knocks so let's assume you did
Who's there ?
9/11
9/11 who?
You said you'd never forget!
Nice thanks !
I remember watching it happen in school and even I know jet fuel can't melt steel beams, but a good hot sauce will make a good go of it.
