A Texan once visited New York for several days. He felt a little daunted at first by the tall buildings and crowded streets. After a few hours traveling around to see the major landmarks he realized he was lost and realized he'd have to engage one of the locals in conversation.

"Excuse me, sir," he said to a well-dressed man walking out of an office building, "I'm a bit lost. Can you tell me where Times Square is at?"

The gentleman recognized the Texas accent, frowned, and decided to use this opportunity to teach the Texan a lesson.

"I'll tell you," he said, "but you first have to ask me in proper English. This isn't Texas. Here in New York we know that you cannot end a sentence with a preposition like you just did. Now try it again, and do it correctly this time."

The Texan thought for a moment, then said: "Can you tell me where Times Square is at, @SSHOLE?"
