I read this as a bit sarcastic....because Bermuda can be associated with the Bermuda Triangle, a mystical area in the Carribean where ships and planes disappear, or Bermuda can be linked to those vacations that we've all won that are a complete hoax to get us to give out our credit information. Maybe John won one of those vacations?!?
