R They High? Have to ask.

This is an oil painting of koi. I also took it from an art store window at Yaohan.
The artist made it look so real I think I almost expected them to swim
This is something I would really love to see on my wall.
Some garden places sell Koi for your artificial garden pond but they wouldn't
 last long here at my place because of the racoons.
All the paintings are made by Chinese artists.
In summer there is supposed to be a night flea market but I have yet
 to find out where it is held.
That should be an interesting place to visit.

R THEY HIGH?
Have to ask lol

1. I had a New Brunswick member of parliament ask for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.  (On an airplane!) 
2. I got a call from a Manitoba legislature staffer, who wanted to go to Cape Town.  I started to explain the length of the flight and the passport information,  and then he interrupted me with,  ''I'm not trying to make you look stupid,  but Cape Town is in Massachusetts ..'' 

Without trying to make him look stupid, I calmly explained,  ''Cape Cod is in Massachusetts ,   Cape Town is in South Africa .'' His response -- click.. 
3. A senior B.C. Deputy-minister called, furious about a Florida package we did.  I asked what was wrong with the vacation in Orlando ...  He said he was expecting an ocean-view room.  I tried to explain that's not possible, since Orlando is in the middle of the state.

He replied, 'Don't lie to me!, I looked on the map, and Florida is a very THIN state!!''  (OMG) 
4. I got a call from a federal minister's wife who asked,  ''Is it possible to see Russia from Canada ?''

I said,  ''No.''

She said,  ''But they look so close on the map''  (OMG, again!) 
5. An aide for a cabinet member once called and asked if he could rent a car in Dallas ..  I pulled up the reservation and noticed he had only a 1-hour layover in Dallas ...  When I asked him why he wanted to rent a car, he said,  ''I heard Dallas was a big airport, and we will need a car to drive between gates to save time.''  (Aghhhh) 
6. A Calgary council member called last week.  She needed to know how it was possible that her flight from Calgary left at 8:30 a.m.,  and got to Vancouver at 8:33 a.m.

I explained that Alberta was an hour ahead of B.C. , but she couldn't understand the concept of time zones.  Finally, I told her the plane went fast, and she bought that. 
7. A Québec MP, called and asked, ''Do airlines put your physical description on your bag so they know whose luggage belongs to whom?''  I said,  'No, why do you ask?'

He replied,  ''Well, when I checked in with the airline,  they put a tag on my luggage that said (FAT),  and I'm overweight.  I think that's very rude!''

After putting him on hold for a minute, while I looked into it. (I was dying laughing).  I came back and explained the city code for Fresno , Ca. Is (FAT - Fresno Air Terminal), and the airline was just putting a destination tag on his luggage.. 
8. A Senator from Saskatchewan called to inquire about a trip package to Hawaii .  After going over all the cost info, she asked,  ''Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take the train to Hawaii ?'' 
9. I just got off the phone with a rookie MPP from Ontario who asked, ''How do I know which plane to get on?''

I asked him what exactly he meant, to which he replied, ''I was told my flight number is 823, but none of these planes have numbers on them.'' 
10 A senator called and said, ''I need to fly to Pepsi-Cola , Florida . Do I have to get on one of those little computer planes?''

I asked if she meant fly to Pensacola and fly on a commuter plane.

She said, ''Yeah, whatever, smarty!'' 
11 A senior federal government official called and had a question about the documents she needed in order to fly to China .  After a lengthy discussion about passports, I reminded her that she needed a visa.  "Oh, no I don't.   I've been to China many times and never had to have one of those.'' 

I double checked and sure enough, her stay required a visa.  When I told her this she said, ''Look, I've been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express!'' 
12 A Newfoundland & Labrador minister called to make reservations, ''I want to go from St John's  to Rhino, New York ...''

I was at a loss for words.  Finally, I said, ''Are you sure that's the name of the town?''
  'Yes, what flights do you have?'' replied the man.
  After some searching, I came back with, ''I'm sorry, sir, I've looked up every airport code in the country and can't find a rhino anywhere."

''The man retorted, ''Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is.  Check your map!''

So I scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, ''You don't mean Buffalo , do you?''

The reply?  ''Whatever!  I knew it was a big animal.''

Now you know why the Government is in the shape it's in!
