So, he read the book and went off for his final interview with the INS. This can be quite a long process to get to this stage. In the interview, they ask you questions about U.S. history as well as local, state and federal government. While waiting for his interview, there was an Oriental guy in the waiting room repeating over and over "Wash-ing-ton, Wash-ing-ton ...". Presumably, he didn't want to forget the answer to a question that every INS examiner asks

Reminds me .... if your U.S. travel by RV includes entering California, be sure you practice saying "Arnold Swartzenwhatsit", or they may not let you in.
Is someone taking my name in Vain?........ Now where's my Paaaaaasstyyyyy.

LOL Steve, didn't know that Arnold ate pasties.

When we first introduced some American friends to pasties, they looked at the spelling and insisted on calling them paystees.

I offered to share my laverbred with them, but fortunately they declined.

Is it called Yales?

Nah, just kidding. Not a very Welsh name though, is it? Looked up Coleg Ial, Wrecsam on Google, and now understand why. Another one of those translations for the benefit of the folks on the other side of the border.
