Can’t State This Enough

(My family and I take a vacation to Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island. Rhode Island is a very small state, but a state nonetheless. While out kayaking, my dad loses his wallet, including his credit cards. When we get home he calls the credit card company to cancel his card.)

Rep: “Okay, sir, where were you when you lost your credit card?”

Dad: “I was on Block Island. That’s a part of Rhode Island.”

Rep: “Thank you, sir. And what state is Rhode Island in?”
