Summertime, summertime

It just occured to me that the slumping dollar could mean that Europeans will be attracted to the United States in droves this summer, because of the favorable exchange rate of their currency to ours. Think of it: Compared to last summer, a hundred euros will buy a night at a $130 motel instead of an $80 one. The tourist influx could spark our economy bigtime.

Too bad it will take them all summer just to gain admittance past the sniffing dogs, the fingerprinters and the rectal probers.
