Seriously...do they not teach Geography anymore?

A guy in a suit walks into my area...
 
Visitor: I have an appointment with ****. (The person he names is the Chairman and Founder of our little company)
Me: Um. He works in Virginia.
Visitor: So do you expect him back today?
Me: He doesn't work in this state. He might come by to visit at some point this year...who did you set up the appointment with?
Visitor: *****. (Says my name, which he has clearly read off of the nameplate on my desk.)
Me: No, sir, you did not.
Visitor: Yes, I did. Will she be back at her desk soon?
Me: Actually, it's a he, it's me...and I did not because that is not remotely one of my job duties, nor is it even something I would have access to do.
Random male employee walks by the window.
Visitor: Is that him?
Me: No. He does not work in this location. He works at the corporate office in Virginia.
Visitor: Well...I'll try again later.
 
(Why do they always "try again later"?)
