@nospam: "A Texan kid visited Toronto then went back to Texas and
used his experience for a school assignment.  He wrote
a brochure for Toronto.  Someone caught wind of it up
here and paid his way back for another visit.  When
interviewed he said he felt like he didn't have to
visit anywhere else in the world after visiting TO
because every culture is represented here.

Oh Wilson we've already established your cuisine-choice
jealousy so we know from whence that cometh!
I note that Ben caught the humour I found in the story.
Texan boy asserts he doesn't need to see the rest of the
world because he's seen Toronto.
Texan presidential candidate reveals his ignorance of the
world outside when tricked into revealing that he doesn't
know the name of the prime minister of Canada.
The boy, of course, is just a boy, and I do think he's
doing pretty well.  The odds of him actually seeing more
of the world someday, or at least taking an interest in
it, because of his positive experience in TO, are pretty
good, but the irony still amuses me.
I, of course, don't need to see the world, because it
comes to me.

A worldwide survey was organized on the question:
"What's your honest opinion about the food shortage
in the rest of the world?". Unfortunately a complete
disaster, because nobody understood the question.
The Africans didn't understand "food", the Europeans
didn't understand "shortage". The Russians didn't know
what "honest" means, the Chinese didn't know what
"opinion" means. And the Americans didn't know what
"rest of the world" means."
