Christ. I think LA and Detroit should go bowling.

On the positive side, I have a theory that municipal competence is inversely related to the quality of cuisine.

Meh. People make big noises about food in LA but it's mostly just pretentious and expensive. I paid six bucks for a piece of apple streudel that Little Debbie would be ashamed of two weeks ago. LA is the only place where I can name seven pizza places that will charge me $30 for something roughly the caliber of Red Baron.

Well, I did form my theory around European governments. It might not be a very good theory.

Dunno. Europe is a big place. Considering "government" covers both Switzerland and Spain...

There you go: Swiss government good, food not too good. Spanish government not too good, food good.

In Heaven: the cooks are French,

the policemen are English,

the mechanics are German,

the lovers are Italian

and the bankers are Swiss.

In Hell: the cooks are English,

the policemen are German,

the mechanics are French,

the lovers are Swiss

and the bankers are Italian.
