English Original
A woman called a travel agency to make a reservation. "I want to go from Chicago to Hippopotamus, New York," she said.
The agent was puzzled. "Are you sure that's the name of the town?"
"Yes, of course," the customer replied. "What flights do you have?"
After searching the system, the agent returned. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I've checked every airport code in the country and can't find a 'Hippopotamus' anywhere."
"Oh, don't be silly! Everyone knows where it is. Check your map!" the customer retorted.
The agent scoured a map of New York state and finally asked, "You don't mean Buffalo, do you?"
"That's it!" the woman exclaimed. "I knew it was a big animal!"

一位女士打电话给旅行社预订机票。她说：“我想从芝加哥去纽约的河马市。”
客服人员感到困惑。“您确定那是城镇的名字吗？”
“当然确定，”顾客回答。“你们有什么航班？”
在系统中搜索一番后，客服人员回复道：“抱歉，女士。我查遍了全国所有的机场代码，都找不到一个叫‘河马’的地方。”
“哦，别犯傻了！谁都知道它在哪儿。查查你的地图！”顾客反驳道。
客服人员仔细查看了纽约州的地图，最后问道：“您指的该不会是布法罗（水牛城）吧？”
“就是它！”女士惊呼。“我就知道那是一种大动物！”
