    I posted this silly video as an inside joke for my daughter, Sarah. I posed in Cleveland eating a taco. For decades, and TOTALLY AS A JOKE, whenever I want to mention a place nobody wants to go, I say “Cleveland”. It goes back to the jokes in the comedy baseball movie Major League and the old Drew Cary TV show. Both are set in Cleveland and make jokes about the city.

    The other part of the inside joke is that don’t like to eat hard shell tacos. You bite into them and they crumble and leak all over you. I like the flavor, just not the eating experience.

    SO, it became a running joke between my daughter and I that the last thing I’d ever want to do is eat a taco in Cleveland.

    I personally have nothing against Cleveland. I enjoyed myself while I was there. I did several other videos in Cleveland when I visited there in 2016. If tacos didn’t crumble, I’d like them too. I eat lots of burritos.

    I never explained what the inside joke was, because it was something only a very few people knew about. It is just me being silly.
