Things that happen while on a trip.

This happened to me on a trip to the US. It was in customs.
Customs Officer: "Morning."
Catch22: "G'day mate."
Customs Officer: "Where will you be staying while in the United States?"
Catch22: "Martinsburg, West Virginia mate."
Customs Officer: *Looks confused* "Nobody goes there!"

Catch22,

I am minded of a joke from the late W.C. Fields:

Announcer: "First prize is a week's vacation in Philadelphia!"
Contestant: "What does the runner up get?"
Announcer: "Two weeks in Philadelphia!"

WVU is actually a pretty good school ... of course that didn't stop my Terps from kicking their ass thursday at the Gator Bowl!

WVU, West Virginia University ... and University of Maryland (mascot is the Terrapin, hence Terp) are big big rivals especially when it comes to (american) football. Suffering with so little rugby over here in the states I often settle for football, at least my team is doing well.

Ahhhhh got it thanks

I am an Australian Football fan but i watched the Rugby Union World Cup, The final was a great game, the Poms won but only by the skin of their teeth after an epic battle.

Its a wonder the US doesnt have its own Rugby World Series with only US teams allowed to play like American Football, basketball and baseball.

I wish catch22, I have a very difficult time finding any rugby broadcasts at all over here. It really is a bit upseting.

Yeah grumble the US is a lil slow on the uptake, not to mention completely full of itself I'm sure we (meaning the us, not me, i loooove rugby) won't embrace it until some american finds a way to twist it just enough to be able to take credit for inventing it or something.

I did see Aussie footy on cable over there. No Rugby League or Union.
