road-trip, v.

[Jonathan Lighter]

Won't mention any names, but the anchor involved studied at Oxford University, which makes her smarter than many others I won't name.

  Furthermore, her Stanford degree is in Organizational Begavior, not Geography Knowledge, and she used to be Miss _America_, not "Miss _Loch Ness_."

  So lighten up. I still confuse "Myanmar" with "Mallomar."

If you think road-tripping to Europe is too much, try
the following:

1. go to www.google.com
2. click on "maps"
3. click on "get directions"
4. type "New York" in the first box (the "from" box)
5. type "London" in the second box (the "to" box)
6. hit "get directions"
7. Scroll down to step #21.

Bon voyage.
