As some of you may recall, we lived in DC for a year. One Saturday afternoon, we were at a McDonald's having lunch..."Got to Get You Into My Life" by the Beatles was playing over the restaurant's music system.

Rhoda says, "I don't like this version...I like the original one better."

I didn't want to make her feel stupid, so I asked her, "Who does the original version?"

She replied, "Earth, Wind and Fire."

I laughed and replied, "I'm not trying to be mean, sweetie, but this is the original version we're listening to...it's a Beatles song. Earth, Wind & Fire did a cover version of it for the Sgt. Pepper's movie.

She did her little bourgeois thing where she kinda turned up her nose and did a little "Hmph!" and said, "Well, I like the Earth, Wind & Fire version better!"
