ROTFL

And regarding:
> are foreign zip codes different too

Oddly enough Virginia all of us foreign countries haven't decided to adopt
US zip code formats any more than we've come into line with US phone
numbers. Damned inconsiderate I know but there are nearly 200 of us
(countries that is) and it's a tad tricky getting agreement. ;-)  In fact
'foreign zip codes' is a bit of an oxymoron because I don't know how many
countries even use that term. I believe the generic term is postal code.
