I worked as an orientation leader at Northern Illinois University this past summer. I was responsible for answering any questions any parents and students had about NIU and DeKalb, Illinois.

I also was responsible for telling parents a little about NIU and DeKalb. Well, DeKalb Illinois is the city in which barbed wire was first invented. DeKalb is also Cindy Crawfords home town.

I told the parents in my group that DeKalb was famous for Cindy Crawford and Barbed wire.

The parents responded by asking Barb who?
