Agreed.
I like this one:
Q1) Do you have at least 1 year of 0 experience?|
My answer) Of course. In fact, I have decades of 0 experience!
Q2) Do you speak United States?
My answer) I studied United State speaking in college, with a minor in speaking Georgia and Florida.
Hah!...Looks like something I’d find on Indeed.com in the search results for a seasonal “shovel-ready” job as part of a golf course maintenance and grounds crew.
“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean—-neither more nor less.”
“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.”
“The question is,” said Humpty Dumpty, “which is to be master—that’s all.”

How incredibly naive. So glad I grew up in two large cities and also traveled to Italy when young. One quickly learns to safeguard valuables on one's person.
I had a suitcase stolen from me in the crowded Milan train station which I had also set down at my feet trying to get my bearings. I was distracted by an accomplice asking me for change for a banknote. This was ages ago now but fortunately nothing critical was in the suitcase. Clothes, a pair of binoculars and an electric shaver was about it. I reported it to the local police there. Homeowners insurance covered a portion when I eventually got back home which sort of surprised me.
It’s all about the rizz.
Yeah—unfortunately so!
That happened to my Mom when she and Dad were in Venice, Italy. Pickpockets also got my Dad's wallet.
Yep. Kristie might be knowledgeable in gun safety, but she just got a valuable lesson in purse safety.
Yes, the Italian pickpockets have a wide range of tricks. The first time my relative’s grown son was leaving for a trip to Itally, she stole his backpack while they were waiting in the airport, and let him panic for quite a few minutes before she revealed the lesson. He then started keeping his valuables under his clothes like an experienced traveler, which helped, since his jacket was stolen from the back of a restaurant chair while he was there—but his passport and money were safe.
Back in the 90s, a friend of mine was traveling to some African country to work on a geology project. He fell asleep in the Rome airport and thieves got his luggage, money, passport, everything. He had to go to the U. S. Embassy for help getting home, and I don’t know if he ever made it to that project.
I always wear a crossbody bag with the shoulder strap not visible, by wearing a lightweight jacket over it.
