"Wait isn't this Mexico?"

[Pagan]

If you were in a border town I could understand the confusion over the country...but 700+ miles from the border? Yeesh.

Trust me, not only in border towns. Try my whole damn state! It boggles my mind how many people don't think New Mexico is in the US....and think they need a passport here.

And it's not that easy to "accidentally" wind up on the wrong side of the border. Unless you're way out in the desert in the middle of nowhere where people try to cross the border (both directions) for decidedly non-legal reasons and are thereby trying to avoid the authorities.

New Mexico's a state!!

[Pagan]

New Mexico's a state!!

Oh, you think you're funny, do you?

[Ironclad Alibi]

New Mexico's a state!!

Well, it has been a state for only 97 years. It takes while for some people to get used to the idea.

So how long before people recognise Hawaii as a state then

[Ironclad Alibi]

Well, Hawaii does have hula girls to help them get recognised.

[SG15Z]

Oh, you think you're funny, do you?

Why yes, yes I do!

So how long before people recognise Hawaii as a state then

Well, Hawaii does have hula girls to help them get recognised.

Or Alaska?! No hula girls in Alaska.

So how long before people recognise Hawaii as a state then

It's part of the standard greeting:

"Hi there, hawaii?"

What I've always found funny is that I went to NM St Univ and it's older than the state by about 30 years.

Well, Hawaii does have hula girls to help them get recognised.

Well, we've got the atomic bomb and Roswell.

Why yes, yes I do!

Oh, behave!

[Ironclad Alibi]

Or Alaska?! No hula girls in Alaska.

Alaska has gold and oil, and a great song, North to Alaska.

[Bliss]

Well there's always Spain y'know.

And we still have some people here in my neck of the woods who still can't get used to it.

I think they were asleep in Geography class that day.
