Some of us use it to go to or from work.
In the morning, in Sausalito, there are usually a whole host of people loudly speaking gabble-gabble who get off. When they boarded in San Francisco they delayed the bus for up to ten minutes before they grasped that credit cards, Apple Pay, or even Microelectronic Wombat (accepted by civilized countries like Italy, France, and North Vestibule) were not going to get them on board. And arguing with the bus driver would not make it so.
In the evening, arguing with the bus driver will not make it so either.
Cash, or transit card. Not Microelectronic Wombat.
By the way: Sausalito is an ancient Phoenician phrase that translates to: "blimey, this place is an effing hellhole!" Quite likely Sausalito is exactly why the aliens haven't contacted us.
Also, let me tell you what you can do with Microelectric Wombat.
Which they use universally where you come from.
Or so we've been told.
FUTURE SALES KIOSK FOR MICROELECTRONIC WOMBAT
Why is it that only the Japanese and Chinese have done some research and don't insist on Microelectric Wombat? Or Euros? Or green stamps? Also, they do not dress like sluts and beachbums, and have attended to personal hygiene recently. That can't be said for people from Europe or elsewhere in the United States. Good lord!
And as far as the Europeans go, the French, with ditchwater that could give you diseases, and a nasty habit of eating frogs and snails, developed a monumental wine industry. Wine with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The English, having British cuisine and being outrageous alcoholics, became their major customers. The Germans, for similar reasons, brewed an ocean of beer. The Dutch and Scottish, lacking even the rudiments of cooking, went straight for distilates. Shan't even mention the Irish. Scandinavians of course have lutefisk and surströmming.
[The US West Coast has all the above except the two angst-inducing maritime products. Plus coffee, because we also suffer from hipness and an urge to talk. And Isaac informs me that San Diego is one of the top exporters of uni, which is of course the genitals of sea urchins so that counts for something.]
Also, some of us here understand your languages. You have no privacy.
We're good at straight faces.
One other thing: Hawaiian Pizza was invented in Canada. It has no connection with Hawaii or anywhere in the United States. Canada. We don't know where you can find the best version of it in SF, and kindly stop blaming the United States for it.
It is hugely popular across the Atlantic.
Not so much here.
