Slightly off topic, but it's a good story:

Many years ago I arrived in Fargo ND on Braniff FC to visit a girlfriend and dropped my passport wallet beside a car in the parking lot. It had US$5000 in cash, my passport, several credit cards and about Bahraini Dinars 1000 and some other money. It had my address book also.

A few hours after I arrived at my friend's house her telephone rang. "Is somebody named jbcarioca there?" She said yes, and the airport manager told me a typical North Dakotan had seen the wallet and turned it in. The airport manager went through the address book until he found a Fargo name and number and called.

Every single thing was intact.

Nobody ever can say a bad thing about Fargo to me. I will not hear it!!
