Things that tourists say which make me chuckle

Tourists do make me laugh and here are few things that spring to mind. I'm thinking of adding a page about the funniest and strangest things a tourist or local has said to you. If you have some let me know.

When I'm fishing on princess pier

Tourist: "That's crazy, we can't walk to the other side"

Me: "That's because the boats and yachts need a way of getting in and out of the Marina and harbour"

Tourist "Oh yeah".

-----------------------------------

Tourist coming up to me while I'm fishing:

Tourist "What do you catch here?"

Me: "Fish"

------------------------------------

Tourist: "What do you use to catch fish"

Me: "A hook"

------------------------------------

Tourist: "Whats those hooks with feathers called?"

Me: "Feathers"

------------------------------------

Other mind boggling things to happen to me

I was fishing down meadfoot one night. I had 2 rods cast out to sea, my tackle boxes, flask, radio and all my sea fishing clothes on. A Police car pulls up and this is exatly what he said to me:

Police: "What you up to then?"

------------------------------------

Tourist: "How do I get to the beach?"

Me: "Its the big blue thing in front of you. Just follow the hundred or so people walking that way with beach towels"
