   I thought that there were 50 states?  I guess I don't live in a
state, huh?  Where do I live then in a foreign country?  Damn, I
thought I was an American; I guess not ... Does this mean I don't have
to pay taxes?

[Moderator's Note: I *think* (am not sure) he meant the 48 contiginous
states on the mainland. There are some long distance plans which do
not take in Alaska or Hawaii (as was the case with Reach Out America
at first, and AT&T WATS for many years.)      PT]
