There is the sweetest lady on the Travel Channel with her own show: PASSPORT TO EUROPE.

She is always cheery and full of information. She just travels all over the world with a camera guy following her. She will tell you how to get where she is.  How to book a room and what kind of room to get.

I have seen her in Venice on the gondola, I have seen her in Rome just outside the Vatican, and I have seen her on the Great Wall of China.

Right now she is on a houseboat in Amsterdam and making a joke about peeing over the side.  Then she giggles and shows you the bath facilities.

She'll take you to art museums and right now she is at one featuring the paintings of Van Gogh. She gives you background info and is pretty good.  Not a college course, but informative, none the less.

There is just a touch of June Cleaver in her though.  Or Martha Stewart (I actually like Martha since she is a good dem, but I am not going to watch put doilies on greeting cards). Or Rachael Ray for that matter. She would never say shit if she was up to her knees in it.

There is a politeness and a civility to her.  All her shows could be presented to a third grade class with no 7 second delay.

But today, in Amsterdam,  besides showing us  the Van Gogh paintings and the hiding place of Ann Frank, she took her viewers to a Mary Jane coffee shop.  She went over the Weed Menu with the proprietress.  "Oh this is interesting, what is the difference between some of these?"

 "Do you mean you will actually roll a joint for me?  Can I see one?"

And the entire time during this presentation, smoke is wafting in the back ground like a prairie fire in the Dakotas. There are bongs all over the place. And, of course she does not partake of any of the products except per the second hand smoke.

Now I saw Patton Oswald do a shtick on this and it was hilarious.  If I recall, he says they we playing something like "We are the Champions" in the background as he lit up. It is one of his greatest bits and he even does a bit about going to the Ann Frank home. How can you make a visit to the Ann Frank home funny?  You have to be Patton.

At any rate, seeing June Cleaver go over the hash menu in a coffee shop in Amsterdam is still, one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

Now I have to confesst here, that she has appeared in some of the X-Rated movies I participate in from time to time during my dream sequences.  The next time she appears, however, I am going to share a bong with her.

Believe it or not, she finishes the show by taking us through a red light district in Amsterdam.  Even Patton never did that.
