Going on holiday this summer? Need some advice?

A.- If you’re travelling in the USA and all your

clothes are dirty, stay at a hotel with a
Jacuzzi. Then lock the door and put all your
clothes in it, plus some soap powder of course.
They’ll soon be brilliantly clean!

B.- If you’re trying to decide whether to take a

room in a cheap hotel, just lift up the mattress
very quickly. If anything moves, don’t take the
room!

C.- Last summer I was travelling on my own in

Italy. I sat down in a café and took out a map
and a guide book. Within minutes all the local
boys were asking me where I was from and what my
name was. The next café I went I bought a local
newspaper and pretended to read it. This time
the boys all stayed away.

D.- Last year I was travelling in the United

States and I didn’t have much money left. I went
to the local jail and asked the guard to let me
stay there for the night. He couldn’t refuse
because in the USA you can insist on ‘protected
custody’ if you ask for it. He gave me a free
room and a free breakfast!

E.- If you’re travelling in the Middle East and

someone offers you a sheep’s eye to eat, you
mustn’t refuse it, it would be very rude.
Instead put it in your mouth and swallow it as
quick as possible, don’t try to chew it, it
tastes like an old rubber ball.
