And Now, Here’s Your Moment of Dave…
Author: Dave Barry Source: The Miami Herald
Title: CORRALING THE IGUANAS WHILE VISITING THE VIRGINS
In these times of international tension, real news professionals disregard their personal safety and head for the world's trouble spots. Thus it was that recently I traveled to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where I faced the very real danger that, as a journalist in the field, many of my expenses would be tax-deductible.
The Virgin Islands are located in the Caribbean, which gets its name from the Indian words ''Cari,'' meaning ''body of water,'' and ''bbean,'' meaning ''that makes you really glad your computer has a spell checker.'' The Virgin Islands were discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, who wisely elected to remain on the ship during the discovery process so as to avoid being turned into Purina Shark Chow by the people who already lived there.
Before sailing briskly away, Columbus named the islands ''the Virgins'' because he thought they looked like reclining women, which tells you how long HE had been on a non-coeducational ship.

Oh, that I could get away from this oh so cold and snowy climate to do something like that. However, reading about it does take the mind from all the horrible things happening in this world, and I do think we have to do that for a short time each day.
Blessings,
Dancewitch
