I went to the Homeland Security office this morning for an interview to verify that I know US history, civics and English.
"What's the capital of Oklahoma?," I was asked.
"Oklahoma City"
"Are you sure it's not Norman?," smiled the agent, "OU fans seem to think the whole state revolves around them."
"Well, it used to be Guthrie," I offered. And then we had a conversation about perfidious OKC residents who would stoop to steal the official papers from Guthrie in the middle of the night.
The rest of the interview was a formality. I will get a letter in the mail in a couple of months, then have to go in front of a judge and take the oath.
