New Mexico Old Mexico
An Olympic volleyball fan and New Mexico resident Mr. Miller recently tried to order Olympic tickets by phone. After tetting the operator he was from New mexico, Mr. Miller was put on hold. The operator then came back and said she couldn’t sell thickets to someone who lives outside the country. Mr. Miller spent half an hour trying to convince the agent that new mexico is a state. She then transferred him to her supervisor who responded, “ Sir, New mexico, old mexico, it doesn’t matter. I understand it’s territory, but you still have to go through your nations’s olympic committee.
新老墨西哥
新墨西哥州居民米勒先生是一個奧林匹克排球迷。最近他曾試圖通過電話預定奧林匹克賽事的門票。當米勒先生告訴接線員自己住在新墨西哥后，接線員請他等一下，一會兒接線員重新拿起電話，說她不能把票賣給一個住在國外的人。于是米勒先生花了半個小時，試圖讓這位代理人相信新墨西哥州只是一個州，而不是一個國家。接線員把電話轉到她的上級那里。他說：“先生，新墨西哥還是老墨西哥并不重要。依我所見，它只不過是某國的領地。要買票的話，你還得通過你們國家的奧林匹克委員會。”
