Some place warm, a place where the beer flows like wine, where beautiful women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called Aspen.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker builds an extravagant picture of an ideal destination, mixing abundant drink, admiring women and confused natural comparisons before naming Aspen. The mismatched imagery makes the fantasy comic. Desire drives the description more strongly than careful observation or a coherent account of the place.
