>I got a call from a woman who wanted to go to Capetown.
>I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport
>information then she interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to
>make you look stupid, but Capetown is in Massachusetts."
>Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly
>explained, "Capecod is in Massachusetts, Capetown is in

>A man called, furious about a Florida package we did.  I
>asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando.  He
>said he was expecting an ocean-view room.  I tried to
>explain that is not possible, since Orlando is in the middle
>of the state.  He replied, "Don't lie to me. I looked on the
>map, and Florida is a very thin state."

>I got a call from a man who asked, "Is it possible to see
>England from Canada?" I said, "No." He said, "But they
>look so close on the map."

>Another man called and asked if he could rent a car in
>Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had
>a 1-hour lay-over in Dallas. When I asked him why he
>wanted to rent a car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big
>airport, and I need a car to drive between the gates to
>save time."

>A nice lady just called. She needed to know how it was
>possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:20am and
>got into Chicago at 8:33am.  I tried to explain that
>Michigan was an hour ahead of Illinois, but she could
>not understand the concept of time zones.  Finally, I
>told her the plane went very fast, and she bought that!

>A woman called and asked, "Do airlines put your
>physical description on your bag so they know who's
>luggage belongs to who?" I said,"No, why do you ask?"
>She replied, "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 I "looked into it" ( I was actually
>laughing) I came back and explained the city code for
>Fresno is FAT, and that the airline was just putting a

>A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii.
>After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it

>I just got off the phone with a man who asked, "How do

>he needed a visa. "Oh no I don't, I've been to China
>many times and never had to have one of those."  I
