I believe so too, but it sounds amazingly like one about Paris too, <not Paris Hilton>, from a different era . Mark wouldn't use the same material twice . . . would he? I have a neat site with Twain's quotes and many of his writings where it is mentioned that he said something in a similar vein about France . " . . . . . . . . anywhere is better than Paris . Paris the cold, Paris the drizzly, Paris the rainy, Paris the damnable . More than a hundred years ago somebody asked Quin, "Did you ever see such a winter in all your life before?" "Yes," said he, "Last summer . " I judge he spent his summer in Paris . Let us change the proverb; Let us say all bad Americans go to Paris when they die .
