OK so it's humor involving a german...

"A typing mistake on an online booking form left a German tourist
13,000km off-course on a journey to meet his girlfriend.

Tobi Gutt left Germany in high hopes on Saturday, dressed in T-shirt and
shorts for the Australian summer, but instead of heading towards Sydney,
Australia the 21 year-old ended up en-route to Sidney, Montana. Initially
Gutt reasoned that it was possible to fly to Australia via the United
States and it was only as he was aboard to board a commuter flight to
Sidney, an oil town that's home to around 5,000 people, that the terrible
truth dawned on him. Up to that point he's flown to Portland, Oregon and on
to Billings, Montana with mounting concern.

"I did wonder but I didn't want to say anything," Gutt told the
German newspaper Bild. "I thought to myself, you can fly to Australia
via the United States.""
