OK, I had to comment after hearing you complain about the lack of comments.

I had actually thought of commenting on your excellent John Stossel impersonation - it was perfect - but then I thought that too many comments from the same listener might seem a bit... stalkerish.

I did think of you two last night when I was watching "It's Me or the Dog" on TV (Animal Planet? Maybe). There was a family with two misbehaving retrievers and one of them peed on the man of the house every time he came home from work. I watched the whole thing trying to find the answer to the peeing thing for you but the trainer lady said that the man of the house should simply ignore the piddly dog when he came in the door and that would keep him from getting too excited, and therefore stop the peeing. Damn. I was really hoping for a magic answer, not something so practical.

If you guys want a great vacation go on the Disney Cruise. They have 24/7 daycare, an adult only pool and at their Disney Island an adult side...you never see your kids and its easy to sneak in alcolhol from the islands..I recommend it highly for overstressed adults of young children!!

You cracked me up with the Moldavian waitstaff bit. I used to work at a hotel with lots of international hospitality school interns. Part of my job was helping them realize the difference between phrases like "What do you want?" and "How can I help you?"
