cookie cutter and paste

tonight some lady asked me if i had ever been to paris. and so i said no, i haven't. and she was like, oh, that's too bad. and i was, like, why is that too bad? do you really think that my life would somehow take on greater meaning if i just happened to have spent a few days on vacation staring at the arc de triomphe or the eiffel tower or the champs elysees? i mean, seriously, do you really think the baguettes are any tastier on the other side of the atlantic? i mean, seriously, is this what gives people satisfaction these days -- the ability to say that they stood in the city of light at some point in their lifetimes and breathed the rarefied air of european elitism?

or maybe i just don't get it.
