But I figure I can still make some crappy list about something. This afternoon I was running errands all over several towns, like a chicken in need of crossing the road. And on the radio some station in New York City was announcing a giveaway for a trip for two to Los Angeles, CA. And my first thought was, during which season? Wildfire? Earthquake? Mudslides? Drought?? I&#8217;m sure it is a nice city but for me, it&#8217;s just a place to avoid like the plagues.</p>

<p>So, here is my list of five places I&#8217;ll never visit.</p>
<h1>#5- Phuket</h1>
<p>Sure, it&#8217;s a great destination for tourists. That&#8217;s why I never want to see it. Besides, just the <em>thought</em> of Thai peppers is enough to make me taste bile.</p>
<h1>#4- Cancun</h1>
<p>I prefer to fry my skin and get wasted in the comfort of my own country, where I only have to worry about being mugged, and not about being a sacrifice.</p>
<h1>#3- Fairbanks, Alaska</h1>
<p>I am more than sure it is beautiful. I&#8217;ve seen it on the Travel Channel. But where I come from, &#8220;sn*w&#8221; is a four-letter word.</p>
<h1>#2- Calcutta</h1>
<p>If I want to see a black hole, I&#8217;ll go to the NASA® website.</p>
<h1>#1- San Francisco</h1>
<p>The only thing I like about it is a former prison. That should tell you just how much I abhor it.</p>
<p>If you have complaints about how late it is, take it up with the management. I hear she <del>deletes as necessary</del> is eminently fair 😉</p>
