The Other America

I was at my sister's this weekend, watching the local news, when a story came on about a man who had received a notice from the state of S. Carolina that his license was about to be suspended for a ticket he had received 21 years earlier in Maine. The man had a very common name, William Jones. When the newscaster asked him if he had ever even been to Maine he replied, "Nope. I 've never been to Canada."
