Long Island

While spending Memorial Day in Fire Island, I realized how weird a name Long Island really is. We say it all the time and never actually think about the name itself. Long Island. It's nothing more than a very basic topographical description of land. You won't appreciate the humor unless you can imagine yourself having a conversation with a Native American hundreds of years ago. [He has a stereotypically heavy Native American accent]

Me: "Hello Chief, where are you from?"

Chief: "Long Island."

You see what I mean? It's pretty weird.
