Thanks for the good belly laugh.
So is that what they mean by Upstate NY?
Proving that geography is just as important as the other subjects. Wonder why they don't test THAT. But then we'd all lack the giggles provided by conversations overheard on public transportation. Or in flower shops when we want to send to Turkey and wonder why the clerk starts searching the map around New Zealand. Hm.
Speaking of your traveling about, be sure to let us know when you arrive home, having avoided fiery wrecks.
I should mention that the interlocutors were most assuredly drunk. Upon reflection the only thing we could guess was that this person meant he lived in a "suburb" of New York City that was actually in Connecticut. But it sure didn't sound that way . . .
