A recent phone call to a Computer Company in California produced
an exchange with the receptionist something like this:

me: (after introducing myself)...I'm calling from Saskatchewan, Canada.

Her:  Our Boston office usually handles Canada.

me:  Well, Saskatchewan is closer to California than it is to Boston.

She goes away for about 30 seconds, then comes back.

Her:  We have someone in Massachusetts, is that closer to you?

I guess us dumb canucks will never understand American geography!
