Before I started wandering around in airplanes, 
I used to get varying degrees of motion sickness,
and when circumstances forced me to quit flying

short order it was torture city.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor urinous bums will
keep me from my occasional visit to NYC. It's
an acquired taste, I admit.
