I am deeply troubled that anyone would make such ridiculous accusations.
Most of us who contribute to this group are not Yuppies.

Ah, but a McDonald's low-fat shake that is enjoyed in Rome!

I've not had any funny restaurant experiences in this metropolis. (You know

Maybe we should write to the White House (president@whitehouse.gov?) to demand
