AND THESE PEOPLE RUN OUR COUNTRY?



I have been a Travel Agent for thirty Years and the following are true.


I had a New Hampshire Congresswoman ask for an aisle seat 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 Capetown is in Massachusetts."
Without trying to make her look like the stupid one, I calmly explained,
"Cape Cod is in Massachusetts, Capetown 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 possi ble, 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 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 a.m. 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 your bag so
they know whose luggage belongs to whom?" I said, "No, why do y ou 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 hard)
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, whatever!"

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."
I was at a loss for words. Finally, I said, "Are you sure that's the name of the town?"
"Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the lady. After some searching, I told her "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!"
I 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 see why dealing with Government officials is so frustrating!!!

Just more proof that these individuals are incompetent and have no business being elected officials. They can not get laws passed because they are on the phone all the time talking with Dusty...LOL.
