I dunno, Bob.  I stayed at the hotel at the bottom of the WTC complex not long before 9-11.  I also refused to work at offices of a Japanese bank on the 95th floor of the WTC because the building creeped me out.   However, the 9-11 attacks didn`t stop me from going to NYC again, terrorism and all.

I also ate at a restaurant involved in the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London two days before it happened - Itsu - or, Ìt`s You -- if you mispronounce it.   Again, -- Japanese!!   Oh - and he was, coincidentally, poisoned on my birthday.   Oh, and, coincidentally, my name is similar -- notice the Ali in duali.   None of this a lie.

I was also poisoned at the,....wait for it,....Globe Bistro in Toronto.  OOooh -- Globe is in the name of this paper.

You gotta figure there are really nasty, mean, vicious people everywhere.   Dressing like a Spongebob Squarepants and not tipping doesn`t necessarily help, Bob
