A Washington , DC airport ticket agent offers some examples of why our
country is in trouble!

1. I had a Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat so that her hair
wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.

2. I got a call from a candidate's staffers, 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 stupid, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts,
Capetown is in Africa," Her response - click.

3. A senior Vermont Congressman 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's 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!"

4. I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, "Is it possible to
see England from Canada ?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so close
on the map."

5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent
a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had only
a 1-hour layover in Dallas When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car,
he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to
drive between gates to save time."

6. An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how
it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 am and got to
Chicago at 8:33 am. I explained that Michigan was an hour ahead of
Illinois , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones.
Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that.

7. A New York lawmaker called and asked, "Do airlines put your
physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" 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. I think that's very rude!" After putting her on hold for a
minute while I looked into it (I was laughing) I came back and
explained the city code for Fresno , CA is (FAT), and the airline was just
putting a destination tag on her luggage.

8. A Senator's aide called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii.
After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to
fly to California , and then take the train to Hawaii ?"

9. I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman who asked,
"How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant,
to which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of
these planes have numbers on them."

10. A lady Senator called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola ,
Florida. Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I
asked if she meant fly to Pensacola , Fl. On a commuter plane. She
said, "Yeah, whatever, smarty!"

11. A Senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he
needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about
passports, I reminded him that 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 double
checked and sure enough, his stay required a visa. When I told him
this he said, "Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have
accepted my American Express!"

12. A New Mexico Congresswoman called to make reservations, "I want to
go from Chicago to Rhino, New York ." I was at a loss for words.
Finally, I said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" Yes, what
flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, I came
back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the
country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh,
don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is.Check your map!" So I scoured a
map of the s tate o f New York and finally offered, "You don't mean
Buffalo, do you?" The reply? "Whatever! I knew it was a big animal".


These are the people WE elected to run our country. They must have the
best script writers in the world when running for election.

That is soooo frightening.

Geez I am so pleased to see this, I thought we had the market cornered on dip shit politicians.

We do have a LOT of dipshit Pollies, but they just seem to keep on multiplying. Remember, both countries were founded by the English, people who have raised political stupidity to an art form.

Dave you are sooo right, a thing can't be made simple enough that these guys can't stuff up!
