I lived in Palestine, TX, for eight years. Whenever I was expecting mail from Europe, especially the UK, I would instruct the sender to put U.S.A in LARGE letters after the zip code. If not, the mail would get routed through the Palestinian Authority before getting to me.

Once, someone from Israel sent me mail -- there was a note in Hebrew on the cover. I had a friend translate, and the words roughly read, "don't be a putz and send this Yasser's place. The goyim I'm sending this to is in Texas, the United States and is an all right guy."

Since I was doing quite a bit of freelance writing, and dealing with European publishers, I almost got a P.O. Box in Elkhart, TX, (12 miles down SH19), just to avoid the confusuon.

Before there were zip codes, I would get letters back from Alaska that were addressed to my parents in Theodore, Ala.
