...and on the subject of dopey bints..
I needed a price for a fare New Zealand to Madagascar so I called our local airline (a well known international carrier!) for some indication.
She started by looking for sectors to Singapore, I 'ahemed' and she assured me that that would be the best route, next she was talking about Heathrow but I held my tongue then she started looking for connections to J'burg. At that point I asked 'What about Air Madagascar from Perth?' This induced a frantic rattling of the keys but she got her face saver "But that only goes on Tuesdays!"
