My Mis-Steak and a Post Correction

I was out to dinner with this Croatian friend and we both ordered the steak. When the meal arrived, both filets were served on a combined single platter over a bed of vegetables for us to split. Without hesitation she said "I get the better one."  Slightly annoyed, and knowing I was paying the bill, I asked "Why do you get the better one?"  "Because I asked for it." she said.  In my head I thought, I didn't remember having the option, obviously I would have asked for the better one too. "You wanted the one with more red." She reminded me.  I quickly realized she meant 'well done', not 'better', and like a true gentleman I replied " Oh, right. You take the better one. I insist."

Correction:

I stated in a previous post that my friends from Boston only like to get drunk and watch the Celtics. That was extremely rude of me and after receiving several complaints from my Boston friends they would like me to clarify that they are more than just one dimensional people that get drunk and watch the Celtics.  They also like to get drunk and watch the Pats and the Sox.
Thank you.

Also, I think it's hilarious that I have a number of new foreign friends who just read that and are most likely not familiar with American sports references. In my mind I had what might be their mental image of people from Boston getting drunk and just looking at socks.  

Here's a wild Friday night out in Boston...
