Why buy the moose when you can get the milk for free..
Has anyone ever heard of Alcohol made from moose milk??? Earl, a Sioux Indian from Canada I went beer drinking with, swears by it, adding, "it doesn't taste like chicken".
Things I like:
1) Peanut Butter (which is as elusive as Hidden Valley RD down here).
2) Funny things written on the bathroom walls above urinals. One that isn't going to blow you away, but gave me a chuckle as I stood next to R2d2 from starwars; "this toilet will self-destruct in 10 seconds, thusly making your mission impossible".
3) Argentinian Airports. I flew to Calafate, Argentina yesterday and upon landing, I got a pretty bad bloody nose. A gusher, if you will. Darting off the plane and through the airport hallways, I searched for a bathroom, but couldn't find any. So with a well sodden tissue and my hand over my nose, i asked a security guard where they were. He took one look at me, and frantically indicated that I needed a "Medico" (doctor).
I needed a lot of things at that point (like running water, a mirror and perhaps a snickers), but a doctor was not one of them. Nevertheless, he rushed me over to the infirmary unit (which I was impressed to see existed) and two medical people ushered me right over to a doctor's table and told me to lie down. This whole time I was trying to tell them that I only needed some water and new tissues, but this didn't register. (Come to think of it, I was probably asking for some sand and spoons). After having my blood pressure and pulse taken, I assured them it wasn't my first bloody nose and I was good to go. They insisted on observing me for a few more minutes to make sure I wasn't going to collapse and to record my passport information. Probably to tell the U.S. to stop letting me out of the country.
While entirely unnessesary, I appreciated their care, seeing as though you could probably go to JFK with a hammer lodged in your head and they wouldn't notice you until you set off the metal detector. At which point, they would say hammers aren't permitted on planes.
