Why Americans Should Never Be 
Allowed To Travel, Part II

The following are actual stories provided by travel agents: 
 
 
 

A nice lady just called. She needed to know how it was possible that her  flight from Detroit left at 8:20am and got into Chicago at 8:33am. 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 client called in inquiring about a 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 man who asked, "How do I know which plane to get on?" I asked him what exactly he meant, which he replied, "I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these darn planes have numbers on them." 

A woman called and said, "I need to fly to Pepsi-cola on one of those computer planes." I asked if she meant to  fly to Pensacola on a commuter plane. She said, "Yeah, whatever."

*A business man 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 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 woman  called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus,  New York" The agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the agent: "Are you sure that's the name of the town?" "Yes, what flights do  you have?" replied the customer. 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 Hippopotamus anywhere." The customer 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!"
 
 
 

    
Still seems unbelieveable, doesn't it?
