City? State? Whatever...
As part of the move from Chicago to Houston we're moving our insurance to a local agent. I got a call from this agent asking me some questions.
While trying to find our file she asked where we were moving from, I said "Chicago."
She asked what the code or abbreviation was for Chicago. Since we don't actually live in the Chicago city limits I told her which suburb we live in.
She said "Not that, is it CH, CHI...?"
Ah, I get it now.
"It's IL," I say in a disgustedly flat voice, trying not to let the disbelief show through.
Her response was to laugh it off.
Can I still make jokes about public schooling?
