Dear Blake,

I want to take a vacation, but I don’t have much money. I’m a risk taker, and I want do something that can give me an Adrenaline Rush! Considering my budget and desires, do you have any recommendations?

Signed, Cynthia

Dear Cynthia,

I know the perfect place for you. It won’t cost much because it’s nearby, and I’m confident it will appease your emotional needs. Just go 140 miles north of where you are, and you’ll be in Chicago. If you really want a death defying experience, try riding on some of their public transportation on a Saturday night. Where else for the price of a bus ticket can you get a front seat of violent battles for life, such as one person tries to steal another person’s expensive Nike shoes while the victim is still wearing them. It can also be a religious experience as you go through certain parts of the Windy City, because of the amount of times you’ll be shaking in terror while you’re intensely praying to God Almighty that you survive your vacation. Chicago is also known for having some pretty good food too. I hope this helps.

Blake
