Have you ever had one of those days when you started out to do some naked hiking on the Appalachian Trail and ended up taking a plane to Argentina? We've all been there.

1. If that happened to me, I _know_ I wouldn't tell my husband.

He'd post about it in The Lounge.

2. Hey, "Appalachian" and "Argentina" both start with "A."

It's an easy mistake to make. Next time I take off for Portland I might accidentally end up in Peru. :shrug:

6. This guy must like being under a microscope.

When The State asked Sanford at the airport why his staff said he was on the Appalachian Trail, Sanford replied, "I don't know."

Sanford later said "in fairness to his staff," he had told them he might go hiking on the Appalachian Trial.

First he doesn't know where they got the idea... then he suddenly remembers they got it from him? This is the kind of stuff that makes people want ask more questions.

8. OH NO!!! A wormhole to Argentina, and Mark Sanford opened it!!!

One day we'll all find ourselves in Argentina, even if we were only going to the fridge for some potato salad.
