Who in their right mind would answer yes?

So whilst completing my visa form to find out if America really wants to let me in to its green and pleasant land,* I get to this interesting section:

Do you intend to take part in any sort of insurrection, riot or rebellion?
Do you plan any activities involving the overthrow of the government or the President?
Do you plan to take part in any acts of terrorism against the United States?
Do you plan to take part in any sort of ethnic cleansing or genocide?

Which rattles my curiosity as to what happens if you do specify that mass extermination of her citizens is the main reason for your arrival-at least you should get some brownie points for
being honest about it.

*Yes they do. Assuming that customs at Houston decide that this bedraggled specimen shouldn't be put on the next plane home.
Rather pleasingly. I arrive 2.2.22 and depart 22.2.22 or if you prefer I arrive 2.2.22 and depart 2.22.22.

That is a very problematic questionnaire.

If a Democrat or anti-Trump Republican is grading the answers you need to answer "no" to all of them.

If a pro-Trump Republican is grading the answers you might need to answer "yes" to all of them.

Since you are going to Houston, Texas, it is a difficult choice.

(Note that Britain would have likely supported Texas in the American Civil War, had it gotten to that point.)

(Also note Texas rebelled twice, against Mexico and the USA.)

Note: Texas was once an independent nation. Some still think it is.

For an interesting history of Texas read "Forget The Alamo: The Rise and Fall of an American Myth" by Chris Tomlinson, Jason Stanford, and Bryan Burrough. This book is a history of the formation of Texas which explains how much slavery had to do with it. If it wasn't for American settlers wanting to keep slaves to farm cotton, Texas might not have happened.

The questions are there to catch those not smart enough to find their way out of the airport. It saves both time and money for law enforcement and airport staff.

Oh, and you really like dates with 2s in it.

[Kit-Ginevra]

It made it so much easier to remember when I'm supposed to travel

[Food Lady]

Well, do you? Also, swing by northeast Wisconsin and come visit me.

• I hope the next time I move I get a real easy phone number, something that's real easy to remember. Something like two two two two two two two. I would say "Sweet." And then people would say "Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?" I'd say "Just press two for a while and when I answer, you will know you have pressed two enough."

My phone number isn't QUITE that easy, but it is the same three numbers repeated twice, with a zero tucked into the second set. Very easy to remember.

If you're going to be anywhere near Las Vegas, Kit, send me a message. I live close to there.

Interesting! My wife's phone number is similarly structured. Definitely easier to remember than mine is!
