A Washington DC Airport ticket agent recalls some examples of...
"WHY" our country is in trouble !
1./.
I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman (Carol Shea-Porter) ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. (On an airplane (?!?!)
2./.
I got a call from a Kansas Congressman's (Moore) staffer (Howard Bauleke), who wanted to go to Cape Town. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information, and then he interrupted me:
- I'm not trying to make you look stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts !
Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained,
- Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Cape Town is in South Africa .
His response -- click...

A senior Vermont Congressman (Bernie Sanders) 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!! (OMG)
4./.
I got a call from a lawmaker's wife (Landra Reid) who asked:
- Is it possible to see England from Canada ?
I said:
- No.
She said:
- But they look so close on the map ! (OMG, again !)
5./.
An aide for a cabinet member (Janet Napolitano) once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas... I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas...
I asked him:
- Why do you want 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.'' (Aghhhh)
6./.
An Illinois Congresswoman (Jan Schakowsky) called last week. She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:30 a.m., and got to Chicago at 8:33 a.m.
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, (Jerrold Nadler) 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 ?
He 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 him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing). I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, Ca. is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage..
8./.
A Senator John Kerry aide (Lindsay Ross) 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, Bobby Bright from Ala 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./.
Senator Dianne Feinstein 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 and fly on a commuter plane.
She said:
- Yeah, whatever, smarty !
11./.
Mary Landrieu, La. Senator, called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she 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, her stay required a visa.
When I told her this she said:
- Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!
12./.
A New Jersey Congressman (John Adler) 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 man.
After some searching, I came back with:
- I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Rhino anywhere.
The man retorted,
- Oh, don't be silly ! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map !
So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered:
- You don't mean Buffalo, do you ?
The reply ?
- Whatever ! I knew it was a big animal.''
Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in !
Could ANYONE be this DUMB ?
YES...THEY WALK AMONG US...ARE IN POLITICS...
AND THEY CONTINUE TO BREED....
I don't write it, I just offer it for your consideration.
Like manure, just gotta spread it around.
