a couple of conversations I recently had:
first, I was out in my boat with my wife this past month and we started to get into the flounder. I live in Texas by Sabine Lake. We started talking to a guy in a boat about 50 yds away. soon the conversation turned to legal bag limit and min length for flounder. Just to be careful and not get busted by a game warden I said "hey, we can only keep two flounder per day in November.....right?" he said "yeah......but this is DECEMBER"
second conversation: I bought a gun off of gunbroker, and was telling my FFL to expect a rifle shipping to him.
FFL: so where is this rifle coming from?
me: I don't know, the initials for the state were NE, so its New England.
FFL: no, thats not New England, its NEBRASKA
me: okay, fair enough......so what is the abreviation for New England then?
FFL: New England is not a state. Its an area.
