Boy!! Those were terrific!! Don't you just know that are probably several tourists who will take the advice concerning the Drop Bear!!??
Kinda sorta reminds me of the tourist in Arizona who wnated to know what color uniforms did the cattle guards wear?
I only know what I know, and I don't understand very much of it, either.
