In reply to the discussion: "Do you have a New Mexico passport?" [View all]rsdsharp
(9,144 posts)36. Actually I just gave the punch line.
The set up is that I was working for a large jewelry company, and called the home office to order a ring. I told her I was in Iowa, and she told me they didn't have a store in Idaho. I repeated Iowa, and she said they didn't have a store in Ohio "neither." The third repetition of Iowa caused her to deny the existence of the state I was standing in.
The company was publicly traded, but was run by two brothers, "Mr. Aaron" and "Mr. Harry" who had installed their sons as division heads. "Mr. Danny" was my division head, and when he learned the facts (from me) the tongue lashing he delivered was a thing of beauty.

As one with such a degree, I can't say that I've ever been ridiculed for it.
