Venice: Day-trippers have to pay an entry fee to visit the city.

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFirst claim, from Venice: day-trippers have to pay an entry fee to visit the city.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. First they charge you at the door, then it's the water, then it's the pigeons. They'll nickel and dime you on everything.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal. Per Wikipedia, a five euro charge began on the twenty-fifth of April, twenty twenty-four, for visitors not staying overnight, on peak days.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFive euros. That's how it starts.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorYou are unserious. I have watched real borders close, Dale. This is a turnstile.

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSecond claim, from the European Union: the EU is banning Britain's double-decker buses.

7. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. Brussels wants every bus flat, so nobody can see over anything. Next they come for the second floor of my house.

8. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInternet. A Times story of the ninth of April, nineteen ninety-eight, said it, and Wikipedia lists it as a Euromyth.

9. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWrong. The buses are safe, and I feel nothing but loss.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThird claim, from Canada: you can't pay a bill with a giant bucket of pennies.

11. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. Once the bucket is banned, the ordinary man has no weapon left. Society ends at the till.

12. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal, in a way. The Currency Act makes one-cent coins legal tender only up to twenty-five cents.

13. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBut commercial deals may be settled any way both sides agree. A shop can still take the bucket.

14. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the bucket survives on goodwill.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is how most of civilization survives, Dale.

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen I rule this entire court INTERNET. It's held together by goodwill and a wig.

17. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorOverruled. The wig is real, and so is the bench.
