These were the words Sidney Wilhite of West Monroe kept repeating over and over again as he sat in my travel agency. His redundant use of the same adjectives — just with different inflections each time they were used — was not only humorous but quite understandable considering the man had just returned home from a 12-day trip of Egypt and the Holy Land.
