Well... I have zero interest in San Francisco and even less in Tahiti... wouldn't go if it was just across the street and free. Austria has no appeal to me. Of your list, only Italy and Paris raise a flicker of interest. Paris for its museums and Italy for its Roman and pre-Roman ruins.

To each his own... Cool

Indeed. Let's see:

Choose the closest answer to reason.

1. San Francisco is to Tehran as

(a) caviar are to grits
(b) champagne is to Miller Lite
(c) Barack Obama is to Sarah Palin
(d) Miley Cyrus is to Sid Vicious
(e) all of the above


I'm not sure what (d) means but (e) is the CORRECT ANSWER because I have all correct answers, which I found in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnall's porch but are nonetheless imbued with truth, justice and the Bay City Way.

Dear Bader Bin Bada Boom,

Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny:

"Johnny Carson's Carnac the Magnificent sketches on The Tonight Show frequently made reference to the 'answers' being hidden from Carnac as "These envelopes have been hermetically sealed. They've been kept in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnalls' porch since noon today."

Regards,
John

Now BBBB... nowhere did I say that my interest is in "Tehran," but that it is Iran. My main interest in traveling is history... I want museums and ruins... the older the better... I consider anything after the Romans too modern.

The only ruins in San Francisco are old hippies.

Personally I prefer cats to pinko doggies. VS, I think we should marry, given all our worldview convergences.

Can you see it now? Me coming home to the trailer: "Hey honey, YA COOKIN' BEANS?"

You better hurry... the trailer will be put up for sale down south (yea beans!!) as soon as I get there in my new RV.

What was the subject of this thread anyway? We better stop while we're ahead.
