Now I've heard it all.....

Just returned from Walmart where my wife was sending some money via Moneygram. The lady was entering the information in the computer off of the form we filled out. She looks at us and asks "Is China a different country?"

I kid you, not.

No, it's a small town in Arkansas. Made in China really means made in USA. But there is a town in Japan called USA, so made in the USA really means made in Japan.

They don't teach that kinda stuff in high school anymore. I'm surprised she could read the form.

Re: Now I've heard it all.....

During the Olympics in Atlanta, a caller from New Mexico called to get tickets and they were told they had to call their own country to get tickets. Only American states could order tickets from the number they called.

Sad but true.
