I thought the local town with maple St and Maple Dr in town along with maple Rd a mile out of town was bad.

No wonder the police go to the wrong address

When you move, one of the biggest headaches is notifying everyone of the change in address. When we moved to our quiet little town, it was no different ... except, it was! I spent forever on the phone with everyone who needed the new address - every Doctor's or Dentist's office, every credit or rewards card company, every billing agent, every friend and family member.

At first, it was a frustrating nightmare, but once we caught the rhythm, it became a game to see how long we could keep it going. We had the same conversation so many times we could have scripted and sold it. Unfortunately, Abbott and Costello had already done it, so for the sake of simplification, we'll call the person on the other end of the phone line "Abbott."

Abbott: Okay, and what city or town?
Me: North East, Maryland
Abbott: Northeast where?
Me: Maryland
Abbott: But where in Maryland?
Me: North East
Abbott: (getting frustrated) Okay, but where in northeast Maryland?
Me: The town
Abbott: Which town?
Me: North East!
Abbott: (through gritted teeth or shouting) NORTHEAST WHERE?
Me: North East, MARYLAND
... and it would start all over again.

When I sensed the coming explosion (or hang-up,) or when I tired of the game, every conversation ended the same, as well.

Me: The name of the town is NORTH. EAST.
Abbott: (quietly) Oh.

It was always satisfying!
