Idiots and Geography

After interviewing a particularly short-spoken job candidate, I described the person to my boss as rather monosyllabic.

My boss said, "Really? Where is Monosyllabia?"

Thinking that he was just kidding, I played along and said that it was just south of Elbonia.

He replied, "Oh, you mean over by Croatia?"

I've heard that their sister country Polysyllabia is a wonderful place to visit.

I hope this is the result of humor and not an example of how poor Americans are when it comes to geography.

which just proves that the person in charge is not necessarily the most intelligent person in the company

It's located in proximity to the state of Confusion, which is not far from Forlornia...

I think it's closer to Spain, syllabically speaking.
