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

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.

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!

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.

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

http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...p;tid=34646256

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

Here's one
