My mother the globetrotter is packing for a three-week tour of the UK (again), so I’ll be without my relief and emergency babysitter for a while. She’s been all over Europe, North America, and Africa, but I haven’t yet talked her into an Asian trip... probably because the girls and I would want to go with her. You really get to know someone when you travel to new places with them, and she knows me well enough to veto that ahead of time. But she’s a great traveler. I think she’s the only one on her tour who had no problem getting a passport on time. It’s because she updates hers a year before it expires. Not erveryone is so well prepared.

Tastes of Tasmania. I didn’t know Tasmania was known for its food, but this makes me want to visit!

Open minded and tolerant. You're up for just about anything.

 

Men do not pack ahead of time. Which is why we do so much shopping on our trips.

BAR TALK

A visiting conventioneer from Kentucky walked into a bar in Greenwich  Village and sat next to a rather attractive woman.

"Hi," he said, "I'm new in town. Can I buy you a drink?"

"Get lost," she remarked, "I am a lesbian."

"Oh, really?" he asked, "How are things in Beiruit?"

VENEREAL DISEASE

A man returns from overseas and is feeling very ill. He goes to see his doctor, and is immediately rushed to the hospital to undergo some tests.

The man wakes up after the tests in a private room at the hospital, and the phone by his bed rings. "This is your doctor. We have the results back from your tests and we have found you have an extremely nasty STD called G.A.S.H. It's a combination of Gonorrhea, AIDS, Syphilis, and Herpes!"

"Oh my gosh," cried the man, "What are you going to do, doctor?"

"Well we're going to put you on a diet of pizzas, pancakes, and pita bread." replied the doctor.

"Will that cure me?" asked the man.

The doctor replied, "Well no, but, it's the only food we can slide under the door."

BEDROOM TALK

A Greek man, relaxing at his favorite cafe in Krateron (a small Greek village in northern Greece), managed to attract a spectacular blonde woman. He invited her back to his apartment, and after some small talk they made love. After a pleasant interlude, and, at what seemed to him to be the appropriate time, he stretched, asked with a smile, "So...you finish?"

She paused for a second, frowned, and replied "No."

Pleasantly surprised, the Greek man reached for her and had his way with her again. This time she's wild, thrashing about on the bed and climaxing with screams of passion. Again, the Greek man smiles, and asks, "You finish?"

And again, after a short pause, she returns his smile, cuddles closer to him, and says "No."

Stunned, but damned if this woman is going to outlast him, the young man reaches for his date. It takes all of his strength and he barely manages to do it, but they climax simultaneously, screaming, bucking, clawing and ripping bed sheets. It's dawn by then, and, entirely spent, the exhausted Greek man falls onto his back, gasping. Barely able to turn his head, he looks into her eyes, smiles proudly, and asks, "You finish!?"

"Dammit, no!" she shouts back. "For the last time, I am Swedish!"

Thought for today: If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.
