Lest Ye Be Bored Whilst I'm Away....

Since I'm not writing much, here are some things to entertain you while you wait for my return.

The following are all from Brian Sack's (he of the eBay "Leather Pants Ad" fame) great website, Banterist.com, and will have you rolling. I give you, the chronicles of Brian's visit to China (and when you read, you will see why I live in TAIWAN, especially after reading the account of the trouble with train tickets).

I urge everyone to spend time checking out other entries at Mr. Sack's website. His quirky humor is just the thing to force a smile onto one's face when one is feeling a bit down.
