"Visas"

The following is a reconstructed e-mail conversation between plasticann and plasticmom

plasticmom: I got a letter from Harvard asking whether I was still planning to take the summer class since I hadn't applied for an I-20 Visa or paid my tuition so I paid the tuition today. I wonder if that's why I haven't received any information about my class?
plasticann: [being cute] Maybe you need a visa to travel to the East Coast?
plasticmom: [being even cuter] Yes, I do need a visa for the East coast since I can't carry around a suitcase of cash in order to live in the Republic of New England.

Took me a minute there to get plasticmom's little joke.
