This reminds me of a work experience I had several years ago (yeah, I'm
getting to it).

I had a sales engineer that worked for me. He wanted to move to Europe and
retire after a few years in the south of France. I had a need to have
someone in Europe, so we decided to send him. Since we had a business
partner in Amsterdam, we decided that would be the best place for him to
reside.

Once the plans were finalized for the move, I told him he would soon be "in
country". He realized he would be covering all of Europe, even though he
would be based in Amsterdam, thought for a second, and said "Actually, I'll
be in-continent". I laughed my A$$ off ;-) ;-)

             For  a  pun  that  bad, I may have to invoke my listmeister
     smiting
     abilities.
