From my American correspondent:
Unaware that Indianapolis is on Eastern Standard Time and Chicago on Central Standard Time, a fellow inquired at the Indianapolis airport about a plane to Chicago.
"The next flight leaves at 1:00 p.m.," the ticket agent said, "and arrives in Chicago at 1:01 p.m."
"Would you repeat that, please?" the fella asked.
The agent did so and then inquired, "Do you want a reservation?"
"No, but I think I'll hang around and watch that sucker take off."
