> 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.

I'm going to go look it up, but chances are slim to none. Old Howard has never been east of London. Well....... Slightly east of London. When I was in Greenwich, I walked across the Prime Meridian about 50 feet, just so I could say I had been in the eastern hemisphere. I've also never been west of Kauai, which is about 165 degrees west.

Well, while RW was down, I went upstairs and looked it up. I knew it wasn't me when it referred to an elderly couple. I showed it to my wife, who read and immediately said, "It wasn't you." She forgets that I can really spread it on thick sometimes. Anyway, I asked her what tipped her off and she diplomaticly said that I never wear a sweatshirt when flying. It's true. I always wear a business suit, because I really believe you get better service. I've been upgraded to 1st class a few times.
As for Paris, it's high on my wannago list.
Does Paris, Tennessee count?
