The following applies to all our western democracies more or less...
Have we been too democratic???
Bad thing is, one can't see any light at the horizon...
I have been a Travel Agent for thirty years in Washington, D.C..
Here are examples why we might just be in trouble!
I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat in the plane so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.
I got a call from a candidate's staffer, who wanted to go to
Capetown. I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport
information, then she interrupted me with, "I'm not trying to make you look
stupid, but Cape Town is in Massachusetts." Without trying to make her look
like
the stupid one, I calmly explained, "Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Cape Town
is in Africa." Her response (click).
A senior Vermont Congressman 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 is 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!"
I got a call from a lawmaker's wife who asked, "Is it possible to see
England from Canada?" I said, "No." She said, "But they look so
close on the map."
An aide for a Bush cabinet member once called and asked if he could
rent a car in Dallas. When I pulled up the reservation, I noticed he had
only a 1-hour layover in Dallas. When I asked him why he wanted to rent a
car, he said, "I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to
drive between the gates to save time."
An Illinois Congresswoman called last week. She needed to know how
it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:20 a.m. and got into
Chicago at 8:33 am. . I tried to explain that Michigan was an hour ahead of
Illinois, but she could not understand the concept of time zones.
Finally, I told her the plane went very fast, and she bought that!
A New York lawmaker called and asked, "Do airlines put your physical
description on luggage tags? I said, "No, why do you ask?" She 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 is very rude?"
After
putting her on hold for a minute while I 'looked into it' (I was actually
laughing) I came back and explained the city code for Fresno, CA is (FAT),
and
that the airline was just putting a destination tag on her luggage.
A Senator's aide 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?"
I just got off the phone with a freshman Congressman 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
darn
planes have numbers on them."
A lady Senator called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola, FL Do
I have to get on one of those little computer planes?" I asked if she meant
fly to Pensacola, FL on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, what ever!"
A senior Senator called and had a question about the documents he
needed in order to fly to China. After a lengthy discussion about
passports, I
reminded him that he 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, his stay required a visa. When I told him this he said,
"Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my
American Express!"
A New Mexico Congresswoman called to make reservations, "I want to
go from Chicago to Rhino, New York." The agent was at a loss for words
Finally, the agent said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes,
what
flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, the agent
came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I've looked up every airport code in the
country and can't find a Rhino anywhere." The lady retorted, "Oh, don't be
silly! Everyone knows
where it is. Check your map!" The agent scoured a map of the state of New
York and finally offered, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?"
"That's it! I knew it was a big animal," she said.
Now you know why Government is in the shape that it's in. |

Schon krass wie blöd die Amy sind - bin sowieso dafür dass jeder Abgeordnete in Deutschland erstmal eine MPU machen muss, bin sicher einige fallen durch...
