Venice Banning Fodors
After numerous erroneous reports about wheels and things, anyone who has a Fodor's guide book, been on the Fodor's Travel Boards (including Staten Island and Knots Berry Farm), or knows someone who has been on Fodor's will no longer be admitted to the former Republic.
The test is simple. When entering Venezia, you will be asked about the ban. Anyone who rolls their eyes or has some sanctimonious answer will be refused entry. Any one who has never heard of it, will be gleefully welcomed and be given a 10% discount for some overly ripe glass product.

Fair enough.
I think anyone who wants to visit their fairytale city should be required to swim 100 yards (or meters, if civilized or flanner is reading) in the open sewer they call a canal. Then stand in line to enter a church and eat their crappy food and report on how wonderful the whole experience was. Perhaps the rest of us can then enjoy it.

“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?". - (Act III, scene I).”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Revenge ! No fodorite will ever enter Venice till the ban is lifted !!
I'll miss the gelato though.

Actually, we have learned that if you buy any of that wheeled luggage at the Louis Vuitton store near San Marco it will be allowed but only if you float it along on one of the canals behind you.
