I got a laugh out of that one. :)

Seriously though. I got asked that other day
by a guy in Arizona "What state is Australia in?"
He couldn't understand that Australia was in
fact a seperate country and not a state of the USA.
Obviously he wasn't a college graduate nor
was his knowledge indicitive of most American's.
It was however, piss funny.
