I once had someone at the Post office on campus try to charge me an international rate to send something from Texas to Indianapolis. She said it was because it had to leave the US & go across a body of water. When I inquired which one, she repiled 'the mississippi,' at that point I couldnt carry on anymore. I took my package to a different post office. Specifically, FedEx.
Also dig those kids who think that alaska and hawaii are in the gulf of mexico because thats where they are ususally shown on a map of the continental US.
Tragic.
