Humor? Don’t Mix Up Words When World Wandering PDF Print E-mail


In your travels this year, be sure to use proper and polite language when visiting world destinations. Be aware that people are always sensitive and quick to anger against blabby American tourists.

For example:
San Diego: During WW2, we Navy guys called it Dago. A no, no word today.
New York: Don’t call the ladies of the evening there Broadway broads.
London: While you dally, pick a dilly at the famed city square.
Rome: Learn to dance the latest Spanish Steps there.
Las Vegas: You’d be perfectly correct in calling it Lost Wages.
Paris: Altho Parisian girls are lovely, it’s not called the Eyeful Tower.
Jerusalem: You won’t find Noah’s big fish at the Whaling Wall.
Hollywood: Do not remove your clothing when doing the Sunset Strip.
South Korea: All the restaurants there serve Seoul food.
Thailand: Don’t even think of making lewd jokes about Bangkok.
