LET'S TAKE A LITTLE TRIP AROUND THE WORLD

.

Today's links take us on a global journey of entertainment and enlightenment. Please secure your belongings in the overhead bin, put away your tray tables and fasten your seatbelt.

.

Because you're strapped into what amounts to a flying petri dish, don't be surprised if you develop: strange rashes, flu-like symptoms, an itchy scalp, halitosis and foot fungus.

.

No you cannot have a second bag of pretzels!

Before we take off, no trip to the airport would be complete without a tale of TSA and airline idiocy:

• 4 out of 5 terrorists prefer the rubberband ball as their weapon of choice
• "Put that thing away! Don't you realize carry-on liquids are prohibited?"

Now that we've cleared the gate, settled into our seat and forced the armrest down between ourselves and the immense guy next to us, we can read up on first destination: Bolivia, home to the most dangerous road in the world!

Next stop: London, where Jedi Knights fight for 'interstellar' human rights. (Once they get them, they'll call their mom to come pick them up).

A quick ride on Eurail delivers us to Glasgow where rumor has it, U2 frontman Bono was responsible for mass murder.

From their we travel to the cradle of civilization. While vacationing in the Middle East, it's important to keep your head down and learn how to regain control of your camel.

Our last stop before returning home is the land of the rising sun where we meet the David Copperfield of Japan (stick with the video... the trick is truly amazing).

Now that we're back home in the good 'ol US of A we can indulge in a little Nevada -style xenophobia, refuse to trim the hedges for queers in Houston, and honor black World War II heroes in Georgia by segregating them from their more heroic white counterparts.

Finally, no trip would be complete without a few photos of all the famous places we visited.

Thank you for flying with Air Jeph!
