In Which I Am Reminded That Toto, We're Not In Greece Anymore

This morning I was at the pastry shop on the corner, ordering coffee, when I overheard someone mention 'The Greeks' in a conversation behind me. I swiveled my head around to see a table full of six men eating pastries. The one who had been talking exclaimed "On the bright side, the Turks invaded Cyprus!"

It's been six months, but that was still enough to take me by surprise.
