Default Morons?

A woman called a travel agent and asked, "Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to who?" The agent replied, "No, why do you ask?" The timid sounding woman said, "Well, when I checked in with the airline, they put a tag on my luggage that said FAT, and I'm overweight, is there any connection?" After putting her on hold for a minute while the agent regained her composure she explained to the woman that the city code for Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage. Makes you wonder if the woman saw the word “terminal” on her luggage if she would have thought she was really sick.


A rather confused woman called to make reservations; "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York." Needless to say, the agent was rather confused by the request. "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, I’m sure," said the client. "What flights to you have?" The agent got on the computer and tried every airport code in the country but couldn't come up with a city named Hippopotamus. She finally got back on the phone and told the person on the other end that she had had no luck locating a city with that name. "Oh, don't be silly. Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured the map of New York state looking for any city that might vaguely sound or look like Hippopotamus. Finally, and as a last ditch effort; asked the woman, "You don’t, by any chance mean Buffalo, do you?" "Oh, right, that's it. I knew it was a big animal."

I used to work for 411, and people are so stupid.

"I'm looking for a store. I don't know what street its on, but I know that its a clothing store... the name is beyond me. Can you help?"

"I ate at a great place last night, and want to go back but i forgot the name of it. Whats the number?"

The 'confused' woman isn't Paris Hilton is it? .. Or perhaps Britney Spears? ... since she thinks Canada is "overseas"

Well, here are some questions that were posted for answers on an international tourism site, the country in question being Canada.

1. Will I be able to see polar bears in the street?

2. Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Canada? Can you send me a
list of them in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton and Halifax?


3. Which direction is north in Canada?

4. Are there supermarkets in Toronto, and is milk available all year
round?


5. I was in Canada in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I
dated while I was staying in Surrey, BC. Can you help?
