I was reading my new April 2001 Readers Digest that came in the mail last week, and one of the short blurb stories that they print in between the articles caught my eye. It was about a man and his wife flying home from a trip to Paris, and it sounded like it could have been about Howard and his wife. Howard, ever been to Paris?

Obviously I can't reproduce the article here due to copyright law, but if you get Reader's Digest, the story is titled "The Paris Effect" and it's on page 89 of the April 2001 issue of the magazine. I looked quickly at readersdigest.com to see if I could find it, but no luck there; I doubt they reproduce anything but the major articles and the main humor sections.
