Ha, ha Art! <BR>I have one for you: <BR>WARNING- DO NOT GO TO AMERICA: <BR> <BR>They speak very bad English, and NO OTHER LANGUAGE <BR> <BR>They don't eat food, they eat heart attacks in a bag. <BR> <BR>They think they're the saviors of the free world. <BR> <BR>Kids are shooting other students like it's the "in" thing to do. <BR> <BR>You don't WANT to drink some of THEIR water (I've seen some of the Lakes.) <BR> <BR>Some of them have to eat GARBAGE. <BR> <BR>Others eat nothing at all.(And not because they're fasting) <BR> <BR>They make States out of Countries. (Okay, I'm reaching here.) <BR> <BR>They use plain old green money (booo-ring) <BR> <BR>They demolish their really old buildings to make room for the new. . . <BR> <BR>And as for running water . . . well, okay, I can't come up with one for that. . . but you get the idea! <BR> <BR>Well, I feel better <BR>Now that we've got all those generalizations out of the way, can't we all just get along? <BR Cheers! <BR>Shelby <BR>

Very funny Art - you live in Europe currently, right? - are you trying to dissuade people from going so you don't have to wait so long on line for gelato? <BR> <BR>Shelby - you are so right about American money - it is the ugliest currency around, and talk about looking like monopoly money - and that green ink is like the color of tattoo ink - yuck.

Thyra

OK Mark fess up, what do you have against tatoo ink??? Hummmm???

AC

<BR>OK <BR>Art you've convinced me to stay home <BR>BUT <BR>Holly has convinced me to leave! <BR>NOW WHAT!!!???

Thyra - the green color doesn't blend very well with a majority of skin colors I have seen. (Also, being somewhat of a modernist at heart - I think the body is beautiful as is without any additional decoration - tattoos, jewelry, silcone implants. piercings, etc. ) I have seen a few really beautiful, almost blue black tattoos. (once again, being someone who gets visually bored easily - i couldn't imagine being stuck with an image permamently imbedded in my dermis - or deluding myself in thinking that it makes a statement or is cool) Also - why do so many people who have tattoos think I'm interested in knowing the story behind it - reminds me of people who talk about politics - yawn.

In defense of the U.S. money, we have put out the $1 gold colored coin. You can't use it in any of the vending machines, but it is pretty.
