I am in the mood for a laugh so I thought I’d share these Questions and Answers from a Tourism site here in SA that I managed to get off GPSA. The questions were answered by the site owner. I laughed so hard I almost cracked a rib, I am still giggling away – perhaps it is just me that has gone insane *shrug*
*Hillbrow is one of the dodgiest places in South Africa, it is the place to go for things under the belt and then some…
Enjoy…

OMG
ROTFLMAO
these are priceless!
When I was much younger , I attempted to hit all the Parks in America. I would always ask the people who worked there for their funniest stories..
Some where priceless, Like the couple that whined that they should cut down more trees so you could get a better view???
Or that they needed to widen the paths so you could walk holding hands…
The man who bought tickets to take the “elevator” to the bottom of the Grand Canyon, couldn’t find the elevator..any idea where it’s at!??
Thanks!

This is hysterical, and yet, believable as far as what occurs to people in their minds about places and people………..I like the one about trying to find the girl he dated in 1969, but he would still need to pay her….. priceless!

It’s amazing how sheltered all the different countries are from either other. To think they have these bizarre ideas that we have elephants roaming the streets and lions in our back yards. The media distorts the perception for all the people coming to SA. Yes we are a big backward and behind on technology but we certainly don’t live in the bush with the wild animals wearing leaves like Adam and Eve LOL.
