Foot in mouth disease

Yesterday I mentioned to a Tasmanian women we met that we just arrived in Tasmania (aka Tas, pronounced Taz). She asked where we had come from and I told her Australia! Whoops went my brain; Tasmania is an Australian state and I knew better! I tried to recover by saying we came from Oz (aka Australia) and were now visiting Taz, but she did one better by saying, "Oh, you were on the 'other' Island". We both chuckled and I was off the hook...phew!
