Funniest of Fodor Threads
 

We are new to Fodor, and love, love, love reading the past messages as they are most informing... and some are very entertaining. What are some of Fodor's most comical and 'witty' coversations?

Thanks!
DLA Family

The 'Yorkshire Pudding Thread', without a doubt.

Something about 'do they use lifejackets in Venice'...

Search for anything written by maitaitom or dukey.

Well, maitaitom & dukey may be good, but look for Elvira's trip reports. She hasn't been around for a long time now, but hers are the best!

Surely the tread about Barbara and the Divas would have to fit this bill. Can anyone remember the details of the title? Also the Tipping the Pilot of course is good fun.

Fortunately some of the good ones keep coming back around, because they are SO good. Welcome to Fodors DLAfamily.

How about the one about Vikings in Scandinavia?

And agree that Elvira and her traveling loons were about the funniest ever...

I too miss the loons. Although the tipping the pilot thread was infamous in it's own way.

"The Vikings", salvaged by FainaAgain:

"Life Jackets on Gondolas":

Barbara's trip report on her trip with several other women "friends" to Italy. I don't remember the title (anyone?) but oh, was it FUNNY!

How about Degas?
Where is he?

Billy and Betty's thread on having trouble with their Trenitalia.

Although Elvira's threads were classics, particularly the sucking mud and fish taco one about renting the "Queen Mary" houseboat in Venice.

How about the Haggis in a Tube thread?

Let us not foret Muffy and her squeky pants on the plane...let us not forget muffy lol

Here's muffin's squeak pants thread:

I loved the "tipping the pilot" thread!

Here are a few of Elvira's trip reports:

This one isn't a trip report, but her response is still good:

I had actually posted the Viking thread last year because I had saved it, but I think that thread has now been deleted!

Here is Barb's trip report, titled: This is Why I Will Always Travel Solo From Now: Trip Report - Rome and Sorrento

Two of the 3 word stories over in the Lounge have been an absolute hoot.

Here's one

I also remember one where someone worried about wearing a girdle on a plane...anyone remember that one?
