Because the show I watch always features a pair of hot chicks wearing nothing much, wrestling with a fish for 15 minutes.
Wow.
Twenty years ago I overheard female co workers complaining about urine on the toilet seat in the women’s room, and I’ve wondered how it got there.
Thank you!
Because it’s entertaining. You don’t get too much information out of it, unless it’s a tournament and you have a good eye but the entertainment factor is there. Of course, I don’t expect people who don’t fish regularly to understand.
A better question would be, “why do people watch gold mining on TV?”
Toilet paper: That’s done here all the time. Most bathrooms in homes, except maybe for newer ones now, don’t have toilet-paper hangers. Water was commonly used before, but there have long been containers that you can slip a roll into. They have a hole in the top through which the paper is fed from the middle, so you must remove the cardboard tubing to allow that to happen. Plus toilet paper is used as napkins in many cheaper eateries, with the same containers. (That took some getting used to when I first arived, toilet paper as napkin, but it feels normal now.) Also, it’s a good idea to pack some rolls of toilet paper in your bag if you’re going to be traveling around this area, or even keep one in your backpack or other bag just for moving around Bangkok, and they pack easier if the tube is removed.
Cellphones: The Thais do this all the time and it drives me batty. They consider themselves a very quiet people, but I’ve not found this to be true much of the time. They’ll shout at each other from a few feet away as if they were a mile apart. The introduction of cellphones has exacerbated this, especially in cinemas. Grrr!
Peeps: Well, that one’s not here. But I’m reminded of when the wife and I happened to be in the US one year at Easter time and brought back a bunch of Easter candy to show the folks what that wa slike. It went over big, except for the peeps. They all thought they looked “evil.” Really.
No it isn’t; it’s a damn sight better than tuna in water, which is almost tasteless and can’t be good for you.
You have obviously never had Mama Plant’s casserole.
Wait, wait! I thought of one!
Why do people drink non-alcoholic stuff that tastes like hooch but has no kick?
I know that rehab programs (at least the ones I’ve worked with) discourage folks trying to dry out from drinking anything that remotely resembles alcohol.
So that leaves people who like the taste of alcoholic drinks but not the buzz, who genuinely like the non-alcoholic stuff as is.
Now me, I can’t understand that.
Toilet water aerosol is one thing. Measurable ounces of water splashing three feet up in the air is quite another, and no that’s not an exaggeration. It’s not very common, maybe, but it’s happened. Hence the use of the foot.
