In the line to get a hotel room, Bryson gets stuck behind the dude who asks way too many questions. Throat punching is a viable option here, Bill.

More freakishly weird Australian fauna: The Giant Earthworm, which will one day, of course, inevitably lead to, you guessed it, TREMORS!!

Fact: Australia was overrun by huge lobsters in the early ‘70’s. Australians would chase them down with huge vats of melted butter in tow.

Bryson again brings up the topic of acclimatization – foolishly introducing species that aren’t native to the continent – usually with unforeseen consequences. His favorite example involves 24 bunnies that quickly multiplied and overran Australia. I picture it happening like this…

Australia has made some fabulous contributions to the world of entertainment, but nothing tops Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo.
Nothing.

Present company excepted of course, but American tourists can be some of the biggest a**holes.
I honestly don't know. The only exposure I ever had (and yes, they were rude as fuck) was on a plane to Crete where a guy refused to take of his hat (a Stetson or however you spell that) so take-off was delayed.It's weird, though, because Americans were so open and welcoming and friendly when I was in the US.

Pitching him out of the plane at 12,000 feet?
Eventually. But we didn't start with that, of course, that would have been far too easy for him. And his bitch of a wife. How anyone could not concede the point that hats had to be taken off because in case of trouble, especially a Stetson could severely injure others, I didn't understand back then and probably never will.
