Reply #81: A friend of mine lived in New Mexico [View All]

and called a travel agent to make an airline reservation. When she gave her address, the agent told her there'd be an additional fee for international travel. My friend asked what she meant, and the agent said that since she lived in Mexico, that would be considered international travel. My friend tried to explain that she'd said NEW Mexico, not Mexico, and that NM was a state, but to no avail. She finally had to get a manager on the line, and the manager had to explain it to the dimfuck agent.

Another friend was from Vermont, and she was constantly being asked "what part of Canada she was from", I fucking kid you not! I remember an experiment the new Candid Camera once did, where they stopped people in Oregon and California, claiming that they were about to pass the border into Canada and they had to pass customs before they could continue. They even made them sing the Canadian national anthem. It was simply unbelievable how many dimfucks actually believed them, and it was even more unbelievable watching them seriously try to sing the Canadian national anthem.

It's always been terribly frightening to me just how dumb this country is when it comes to geography, even our own country's geography.
