A woman called to make reservations, "I want to go from Chicago toHippopotamus, New York."

The agent was at a loss for words. Finally, the agent, "Are you sure that'sthe name of the town?"

"Yes, what flights do you have?" replied the customer.

After some searching, the agent came back with, "I'm sorry, ma'am. I'velooked up every airport code in the country and can't find a Hippopotamusanywhere."

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

The agent scoured a map of the state of New York and finally offered, "Youdon't mean Buffalo, do you?"

"That's it! I knew it was a big animal!"
