The difference between SF and SJ

"People make jokes about San Francisco. We don't want them making jokes about San Jose."

That's Bill Buchholz, pastor of the Family Community Church in San Jose, Calif., blurting out his homophobia. No, Bill, of course not. You don't want anyone thinking San Jose is like San Francisco.

Here's a clue, Wilhelm: When San Jose gets a first-class opera company and symphony; when it gets a major league baseball team; when it gets a $6.5 billion convention and tourist industry; when someone builds the most photographed bridge in the world leading to your town; and when somebody writes a better theme song than "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" -- then people might start getting a little confused. Till then, I think you're safe, pal.
