I've heard these "New Mexico is a forgeign country" stories for forever, and they never fail to boggle.
My driver's ed teacher in high school asked me what country I was from. I said California. That seemed to satisfy him.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

My grandmother used to have problems getting postage put on packages to us. It seems her post office people really, really, really wanted to believe NM required international postage.

I've heard that from others also. The thing that boggled me was that 90% of my "NM!=USA" encounters happened in Texas. Where I'm pretty sure they know Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are states.

Whenever my brother and I go grocery shopping together, we try to stick as many Ugli fruit stickers on each other as possible, without the other one knowing about it.

I don't mind trademarked fruit. I don't like the ghostly white vegetables - white asparagus especially just looks diseased to me.
