Back in 1992, I was travelling on an overnight Greyhound Coach from Ashland, Kentucky to New York City. During one of the regular stops en route ... for passengers to stretch their legs, have a smoke ... or whatever ... I got chatting to the driver. "Ye~ew from Ireland?" he asked, quizzically. "Scotland", I corrected him.

"Scatland?" Whurr's theat? came the reply.

One thing I learned just last month is that there's a place here in Arkansas called England. No wonder why these crazy rednecks kept asking me why my boyfriend only visited me once or twice a year if we were so close to one another.
