A waitress in California asked him where he was from, and when he told her Australia, she asked him how he got here - did he drive? He asked her if she knew where Australia is located, and she said yes. Off the coast of Florida.

I had nothing to say in this woman's defense because she was off so many bases, it was hard to track.

talking about going to Australia. I can only imagine where they get their ideas, misinformed as they are.

Funny thing is, I had a friend who tried to immigrate to Australia (his GF was a citizen) and in the end he wasn't able to. They won't take just anyone.
