Having no problems with "counting beans", I have a problem with the "250 foreign countries" bit mentionned here. The whole United Nations Organization counts today 186 member states. So, if I figure well, SuperDon must have discovered quite a few territories missing on current maps. That also means 12 different countries every year for the last 21 years, never going back to the same country twice. Typo or mytho ? Friendly regards, Alan, Brussels-Belgium PS If the "250" figure should refer to "trips abroad" instead of countries, then SuperDon is on par with most international companies executives, high end salespeople, foreign service public servants, etc. Eric Welch wrote: > > At 11:28 PM 7/8/98 -0700, you wrote: > > >Don had been in over 250 foreign countries at that point, 6 in the current > year > >alone. > > Well, after 250 countries, I would start to treat the whole world as > mundane too.
