HALIFAX - Premier Rodney MacDonald's Top 10 list of reasons why late-night talk show host David Letterman should visit Nova Scotia:

10. Nowhere near Thunder Bay, Ont., so you won't be harassed by locals constantly requesting, "Tell Paul I said, 'Hi."'

9. Halifax Robert L. Stanfield International Airport No. 1 in passenger satisfaction. Customs staff give famed 10-finger patdowns.

8. Chance to establish a new home office in Balls Creek.

7. Triple-bypass surgeries are free for everyone.

6. No matter where you are in Nova Scotia, you're within 30 minutes of the sea. Thirty-five if it's rush hour.

5. You can make a blueberry grunt.

4. Mug for the camera at the roadside sign for Shag Harbour.

3. You haven't lived until you've camped on the world-famous Cabot Trail and been chased by a love-struck moose.

2. Two words - Lockeport Greasepole.

1. Nova Scotia's political leader plays the fiddle - top that, Mike Huckabee.
