Human Aquarium

1. Pockets of Americans unwittingly engaging in absurd behavior without sense of irony.

2. Small American cities whose occupants’ normal manner of living is unknowingly considered absurd and ridiculous by the rest of society.

3. A collection of people all of whom can name more than 3 NASCAR drivers.

When attending Wrestlemania, I looked around and realized that I was surrounded by the entire spectrum of human life: alcoholics, the poor, the wealthy, tattoo-covered NASCAR fans, fans of competitive eating, pedophiles, and the barely-educated. The variety of specimens was unparalleled. I was in the Galapagos of human aquariums.
