    Well, geographically one stands out that piques my curiosity (notwithstanding Jamaica where that's easy to surmise as a vacation or honeymoon type thing).

    So did you hook-up with Cousin Eddie's daughter, the good French kisser, or what?

    Car broke down 40 miles east of Dodge City. Had it towed back there to a Ford dealer. Was at their mercy as it took them 5 days to fix it. Met a cutie at the hotel pool one day.

    OK, that's actually not that far from Cousin Eddie in Coolidge.

    That's the plot of:
    A) A country song
    B) A porno
    C) A kick-ass action movie (turns out the cutie is on the run from some bad guys and you get caught up in the mess while waiting for your car to be fixed; it's finally ready just as you dispatch the last one, and you throw some of their dirty money at the surly, sarcastic mechanic, hop in and ride off into the sunset with the cutie riding shotgun)
    D) A Freqposter story. Do wheat fields carry the same nasty charm as cornfields?

    Also, take my word for it when I say you don't want to hook up in a wheat field. A wheat truck on the other hand...
