"This Civitavecchia is the finest nest of dirt, vermin, and ignorance we have found yet except that African perdition they call Tangier."

-Mark Twain (The Innocents Abroad, Chapter XXV).

    Ha, that's funny! Mark Twain had such a sense of humor!

    I read 'The Innocents Abroad' in high school.
