You went to the Matterhorn

You're like, "wow, this is a great photo."

You think adding captions in the second person point of view to photos is not tacky and stupid, but cool and smart.

Or not.

You went to Iran two years ago

Picture One
You see a couple barely holding hands, walking to their small apartment lugging a tank of propane. Your tummy rumbles and you know a big lunch is going to be made. A:If you plan to follow them to their home, in hopes to be offered Persian Tea and food, go to Picture Four. B: If you plan to find the shop that sell's Adidas IN IRAN go to Picture Three 

Picture Two
You walk across the street, barely missing a car, but you're used to that now, being in Iran for a month, five year olds do that all the time-they'd kick your ass in frogger. You ask the stylish teenager in blue for directions to the Mall. He says something about you needing to wait for the next installment of, "You went to Iran Two years ago."


Picture Three
You can't find the Adidas shop, because you don't know where downtown Shiraz is,  so you just stare at the man staring at himself. A: You decide to mooch off the couple of with the propane tank for a cup of Tea, go to Picture Four. B: You stare at the man longer, hoping that he'd turn around eventually so you could ask him directions to the mall so you can buy Adidas in Iran-plus you need to pee and you know malls usually have bathrooms, though you know you're not going to poop because in the middle-east they don't have toilets but porcelain holes in the ground that you just hover over and aim with your butt or or the other thing and hope for the best. It's kinda nice not using that paper cover you unfold then awkwardly try to rip out the middle piece so you have a doughnut shaped paper to keep your ass from touching the dirty looking toilet seat back in America...but still. The mirror man pointed over his shoulder, towards a teen in a blue sweater. Go to Picture Two.    

Picture Four
You find the Persian couple and they offer you tea and of course you can never say no in Iran because they take offence.
They don't have sugar. They panic. They ask you to go to the store to buy some-they're not serving lunch till they've had their sweetened tea. To buy them sugar, wait for the next installation of "You went to Iran two years ago"
