Winter, 1999
Paris, France
Walking down a street in Paris, I notice a large, wrought-iron gate in front of an old building with the words “Le Mtropolitain” ornately engraved on it.
“Le Mtropolitain,” I muse aloud. “Is that an opera house or something?”
My travelling companion, mouth agape, turns to me and says, “It’s the subway, dickhead.”

I envy you being in such close range of Paris, but that's okay. Come December, I'll be only a channel-crossing away from the land of the Frogs.
