My next door neighbor is hilarious, and I think he knows it. The other day we had my sister-in-law visting with us. She lives in Lagos, Nigeria and she gets over to our parts once a year or so. We were taking a walk and we introduced her to the neighbors, who were out in the front yard tending some irises.
ALISA: Hi, this is my sister, Josie.
NEIGHBOR: She looks like a sister. What brings you up here from Oklahoma?
JOSIE: Actually, I live in Nigeria. In Lagos.
NEIGHBOR: So, do we have you to thank for all the internet money schemes?
JOSIE: No, that was someone else.
Truth is stranger than fiction, and I love it.

You would not believe how many times I actually get that comment!! Same as when I used to work for MCI (in their wholesale department) and people would tell me to “please stop calling them about switching their long distance carrier”. Oh well… I just learned to smile and move on.
