Where's Hawaii Again?

Work Story # 9

He was talking to all of the staff at our Christmas Luncheon and said, "I'd like to take a survey. Who is going the farthest for vacation over the break?  I am going to Hawaii.  Is anyone else GOING OUT OF THE COUNTRY?"  Everyone started laughing, and he NO IDEA WHY.

My internal dialogue at the moment:  Maybe everyone is laughing at you because Hawaii is NOT out of the country.  Come on, really??
