I called tech support a couple of days ago for something to do with my xbox360. I hadn't registered the system yet, so I did that. I gave my street info, city, then she asked me what "region" I lived in.

Region questions are very confusing to Oklahomans. We're not exactly a part of any particular region, so I asked her what she meant by "region."

The poor girl hazarded a guess -- that Oklahoma is in California.

I had to explain to her that no... Oklahoma is a state. In the United States, there are 50 separate states. That Oklahoma is just like Texas and California -- a state. I explained that if she click on the drop down menu by city, there would be a list of two-letter codes and that she should choose the letters "OK."

It got really interesting when I had to explain to her that I lived in a city called "Oklahoma City" in the state of Oklahoma. That was apparently very confusing.
