Well, I remember when a caller couldn't get tickets to the Olympics in Atlanta, because she said she was from New Mexico,
and the ticket office in Atlanta kept insisting that if that was so then she would have to get her tickets
from Mexico. . .
That happens all the time. My in-laws live there and you'd be shocked at the number of times we'd get letters to them back from the post office with a little sticker on them saying they needed international postage. Finally my wife started addressing all mail to her parents "New Mexico USA". My brother-in-law, who was actually born there, lies when coming across the border, frequently Border Patrol guys ask what state you were born in to make sure you're really American and when he honestly said New Mexico they told him he needed a passport and it took him 20 minutes to get them to understand New Mexico is in America so no he didn't, now he tells them he was born in California.
LOL!!! I had not heard that before. Thank you for the good laugh. (On second thought, is that true? If not, it is still funny.)
CF, I just read discostu's thread, so what you heard can only be true. this is unbelievable!
