200 WORDS OR LESS: HOT AIR BALLOON   Today's question comes from the book, "The Conversation Piece":   --------------- #If you could fly in a hot-air balloon over any city in the world, what city would you choose? ---------------   Definitely Paris. From the air, Paris is a glittering jewel of sparkling beauty, as any Luftwaffe pilot will tell you. Add to this the fact that the French people can be neither heard nor smelt at balloon-altitude, and you have a blissful experience second only to the joy of not seeing them either.   My real reason for choosing Paris, though, is guilt. I've been quite the cowboy to our frog-nibbling allies-of-weasel lately. Thoughtless remarks, snarky insults, and impolite truthing have all graced my blog in recent weeks. So, as penance, I should like to float over Paris in a hot air balloon and drop leaflets, thanking them for everything they've done right over the years:   1) Help during the Revolutionary War 2) Selling us the Louisiana Territory 3) The Statue of Liberty 4) Chateau Lafite Rothschild 1895 5) The Eiffel Tower - visually stunning, and the architectural marvel of its day.   Plus all the things they've done in the last 100 years:   Um... er... hmmm... uh... gotta be something...   Oh yeah! Marcel Marceau! Man, I could just listen to him for hours!   Thanks, France!   posted by Harvey at 9:03:10 PM  permalink    Crappy Broken Radio Comments (do not use) [] trackback []  HOME
