I Must of Gotten on the Wrong Plane

So I asked the gate agent in Seoul if I was getting on a 12 hour flight, and she said yes. But I didn't specify the direction. So after three years I am back in Israel.

Since it is the weekend I went to the mall:

Alex, I'll Take Obscure Country Facts for $200

Alex: The answer: Besides the United States, this is the only country with a statue honoring Harry Truman.

WM: What is South Korea?

Alex: Correct! You still have the board.

WM: I'll take Existential Mid-Life Crisis for $400

Alex: You got a Daily Double! WM, you have the option to bet it all on this question. What will it be?

And while WM ponders this, we'll take a commercial break...

Politician or Therapist?

Did anyone notice the similarities between Governor Palin and The Sopranos Dr. Melfi?
Maybe voters will vote for a hot 40-something women who will listen to anything I have to say.

An Interesting Way to Make Money

From an Irish bartender (imagine it in your best Irish accent):

So, let me tell you the best way to make money. You put a condom machine in the women's room, and don't put anything in it. One of the girls tries to buy one. Nothing comes out. She tries again. Nothing comes out. And after that, she does nothing. 'Cause she isn't going to complain to no one about losing her money in a condom machine!

Home of the International Oyster Festival

Galway. Very quaint. And home of the International Oyster Festival. They're famous here, but since I grew up near Galveston I was doubtful that I would find them THAT good.

I was wrong. The oysters here are fantastic. The best I have ever had. You can taste the wind-blown sea.
