[Dx-qsl] Where's Canada Again?

Sat Nov 27 16:08:57 EST 2010

I have one better, I went to mail a card to Australia. The clerk mentioned 
that he was getting a lot of mail for Europe, I said no you are thinking 
of Austria, he said you mean they are different countries? Then he went on 
to say that now he understood why Arnold Schwarzenegger"s accent didn't 
sound right.

Recently when I was in the post office for airmail stamps, the counter 
person asked me where my card was destined, I said St. Lucia in the 
Caribbean. I was asked then what part of Asia that was in, that they 
hadn't 
heard of that place before. Maybe the USPO keeps raising rates because 
they're sending our mail half way around the world, only to find out it's 
not where they thought?
I would be pleased to teach a geography course to the USPO sorters...for a 
price. I can only take so much .....
Happy mailing all !!!
