“What’s the difference between USA and USB?” (joke)

A popular computer riddle is:

Q: What’s the difference between USA and USB?
A: One connects to all of your devices and accesses the data, and the other is a hardware standard.

The joke was posted on Twitter by Alfie John on January 23, 2016. The joke was posted on Reddit—Jokes on January 25, 2016.

Wikipedia: USB flash drive
A USB flash drive, also variously known as a USB drive, USB stick, thumb drive, pen drive, flash-disk, or USB memory, is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physically much smaller than an optical disc. Most weigh less than 30 grams (1.1 oz). Since first appearing on the market in late 2000, as with virtually all computer memory devices, storage capacities have risen while prices have dropped.
