At work the sales team did a little exercise. Not sure what the point was, but they handed out blank maps of the united states and each person had to fill in as many as they could. One girl (a recent college graduate) scored a grand total of two. Two states. The one she was born and raised in, and Texas. They told her everyone knows where florida is, go ahead and point to where you think florida is, and she pointed at California.

It inspired me to do the same with our service techs. Nobody got them all right, the vast majority could not even get more than 15 states correct. Funny thing is, the guy that got the most correct was born and raised in Israel and English is his second language. He got Wyoming and Nebraska backwards with each other, but got every single other state correct.

I think anyone that gets 10 or less should immediately be deported.
