Blame Where It's Due.

Apparently, there are young men in Rome who make a living by wearing gladiator costumes and charging tourists ten euros to have their photograph taken with them. Now it seems there’s so much trouble between individual ‘gladiators’ competing over this lucrative trade that the police have ordered a crackdown.

So who’s to blame for this amusing state of affairs? Damn silly tourists with more money than sense who are prepared to waste ten euros having their picture taken with a local bloke in fancy dress, that’s who.

if your town has any tourists I think you should do it too- you know you could attract lots of young and cutesy asian girls like this... ;)

You're a hoot and a half, Zhen! I think I would look just a little bit silly.

And believe it or not, I don't want lots young and cutesy Asian girls. They might be good for the ego, but they wouldn't serve the fundamental need.
