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 said : "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."
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
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 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."
