...Which reminds me of a good one, when I had typed Ontario, CA 90009 (I 
forgot the exact zip, but it was five-digit zip code, no letters) - the

find New Orleans, LA as a suburb of Los Angeles on the map.  I had to 
explain...  She also asked if Arizona was the Western or Eastern division of 
our company.
