*SNORT*

On that topic, a story from my vacation to Rome: We visited the Colosseum, obviously. We took a tour group and got to come out on the partially reconstructed floor. As we were exiting into the interior area, we passed by a bronze cross. The tour guide stopped us, and she said, “See this cross? It was placed here in 1715 by the pope. It’s new, it’s modern, don’t pay any more attention to it, that’s not what you’re here for.” Mrs. Fish and I looked at each other, like… That cross has been here for longer than the United States has been an independent country, but these people just blow that off like it’s nothing.

I was on a guided tour of the the Tower of London and at the Crown Jewels exhibit this American guy next to me asked, “so what are they worth?” To which the docent replied, “they are priceless.” AG: “No, really, ballpark figure—whaddya think these would bring at auction?” And so it went.
