From Sea To Shining Sea
Tour Guide | Seattle, WA, USA | Right | March 5, 2012
(I’m in the middle of sharing interesting facts about Seattle to a group of 20. Unfortunately, one tourist has been talking on the phone the entire time, making it hard for others to hear me.)
Me: “Now, back when the Space Needle was built, it was the tallest building west of the Mississippi River and it—”
Tourist: “Wait, which of these rivers is the Mississippi?”
Me: “Well, that’s the Puget sound to your right. The two other large bodies of water you can see are Lake Union and Lake Washington—”
Tourist: “So, where’s the river?”
Me: “You mean the Mississippi River?”
Customer: “Well, duh.”
Me: “I guess about 1600 miles east of here.”
Customer: “So, you can’t see it, then?”
Me: “Not from here, no.”
Customer: “Oh.”
