OK. I do it a different way. I was in Barbados for 16 days just now, and
went to the laundromat twice. Then I did not have to travel with a lot of
clothes, and still would end up wearing clean clothes every day. I dont
think any people like to go around being dirty wether they are home or on
vacation. I think we just have different ways to do it then. Otherwise we
could have made another line saying "you can spot an american because he is
the only one that wear clean clothes", right?
I see that you in another posting mentioned something like "legally elected
president". Wasnt it really that other guy that had more votes, but ended up
not being president because of some things down in Florida? How was that
story again? I have a short memory...
