There is more there, just thought it would be a good little chuckle for your day.

Quote:Last Friday, as the East Coast braced itself for the huge snow storm, we began to wonder how folks from places where it never snows were thinking about the crazy weather.
Quote: "My first husband was from Kuwait. When we married, we moved to Ann Arbor so that he could continue his education.
"He had never seen snow before.
"One night, it was the first snow of the season. The snow was so light, that when the flakes landed on clothing, they melted instantly.
"My husband went outside to walk to the store, when he returned, he said to me: 'Kathy, don't go outside anytime soon, the pollution is so bad, that I can see the individual particles floating in the air.' "
There is more there, just thought it would be a good little chuckle for your day.
