2 Canadians arguing over found quarter. Is this yours? No, finders keepers. No, you take. You sure? This is going to be a pleasant trip.

@TerryWardWriter
Happily reunited with a dark, rich, Australian of mysterious origins! I’m talking about Vegemite, of course…

@geoffreyyork
Just downloaded Canadian voice for our South African GPS. This will wow our friends. “Hey hoser, I think you’re goin’ the wrong way, eh?”

@EWeiner
Travel tip: When your hotel provides guests with complimentary ear plugs, as mine does in Warsaw, it is NOT a good sign.

@badbanana
I’m two time zones away from home, which means I’m petrified of turning on the TV and accidentally seeing Leno.

@doctorow

@p_brady
Me: “This is probably the wildest thing I’ve seen this trip.” Tonight’s bartender: “This isn’t even the craziest thing I’ve seen tonight.”

@ben_coop
Breaking news: passenger in Ldn has interesting conversation with cab driver. (No really. Humble, interesting/interested and life-affirming)
