Mrs JimJr and I wanted to go someplace different for a vacation and asked the travel agent what he recommended.

"I'm sorry sir." he said. "But all of the offbeat chic little remote out-of-the-way destinations are booked solid."

I took my poor lil' Mazda into the dealer for a check-up. After waiting about an hour an so, the service manager finally came out and said, "Mr. Moore, let me put it this way -- if your car were a horse, I'd have to shoot it."

Anyone who has ever traveled in the remote regions of Mexico knows their train schedules are legendary. I remember one time on a trip my interpreter and the Mexican conductor got into a heated debate.

"What's this all about ?" I asked.

"Oh Senor, not to worry." replied the man, "But he sez this is yesterday's train and that our tickets are for today's train which isn't due until tomorrow."

I rushed up to the American Airlines ticket counter at BWI Airport and told the agent that I had to get to Texas in the worst way.

He didn't even look up, pointed and said, "Then you'd want the Southern Air counter over there sir."

Being on a low-fat diet, I generally just have toast or something light for breakfast. Normally I'll order whole wheat or whatever to avoid eating white bread.

Away at a convention for a week, I'd order my toast and each time the waitress would serve me regular toasted white bread.

Figuring I was beaten, on the last day of my stay at the hotel, I just ordered "Toast."

She looked at me oddly and said, "That's funny. Aren't you the party who orders whole wheat every morning ?"
