Did he know how avant-garde he was?

A consersation between one of K's co-workers and me:

Ron: Anyway, we had to do a skit at the end of this training, so that's about all the theater I've ever done.
Me: Yeah? What did you do?
Ron: Oh, we were cowboys in the Old West.
Me: Cool!
Ron: Yeah, and we couldn't get sound effects, or anything, so when there was a storm coming, or something, I had someone take off their cowboy hat and say "Thunder in the distance."
Me: Really? Wow! That's so cool! Are you familiar with the Epic Theatre of Bertolt Brecht?
Ron: (Pause) ...um... what?

Never let it be said that a theater major can't destroy a conversation.
