Morans Be Travelin’ This Summer

Published on June 14th, 2009

The Telegraph has a collection of 20 idiotic complaints made to travel agents. Here are a few:

	A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel “inadequate”.
No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.”
	“My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked.”

And for the uninitiated, the headline is spelled correctly. Just ask this guy. Or his travel agent.

Perhaps the bride saw the elephant and was disappointed, even given the size difference of the species.

“…the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel “inadequate”.”

Good thing they didn’t go whale watching. He might have fainted dead away, poor fella.

To paraphrase Ben Kenobi, “Morans with be with us … always.” Sigh … the stupid … it burns.

This is the reason why there should be a “Stupid Tax.” This would go to a fund in which smart people would be compensated from after having to deal with the incredibly stupid.

Unfortunately, I need not read a website for illustrations of idiocy amongst us. I see it every day. I wonder how some people actually get on with their lives. Not that I have disdain with them, more like pity.

Dear Guest,
You should have let him stick it in the pooper you dumb ass.

Sincerely,

Last year, I was on a cruise, and one of the ports of call was Alexandria, in Egypt. Unfortunately, on the tour bus to the pyramids, there were these sisters from the US who were loud and obnoxious, and when told that only Egyptian pounds were accepted as currency in Egypt, they complained bitterly, “Well, NO ONE TOLD US WE HAD TO GET EGYPT MONEY! THAT’S NOT FAIR!” Hello? Dumbasses? YOU’RE IN FREAKIN’ EGYPT!

Just to piss them off, I pulled out my wallet, full of Egyptian pounds, and counted it very obviously, right in front of them.

Score a “keyboard nasal spray” for PoppaBoner.

Nice to see some documentation illustrating that not all the morans reside in the States.

I lived about 50 miles from the US / Canada border in 1965. Every summer we would see these Americans drive past us with snow skis and toboggans on the roofs.

moran (plural morans)
An unmarried Maasai or Samburu warrior.
Are they travelling together or separately?

Uncle Dave must be a big fan of Rush Limbaugh! Quaint!

#11: Rush? Greatest comedy act around today.

While that definition may be correct, that’s not where the meme came from. Check the link.

Too bad the moran who saw the elephant didn’t go whale watching, or he might have felt COMPLETELY inadequate.

How could someone be stupid enough to think that there are no fish in the sea? Where do you think they swim? Perhaps now that she knows this, she will not swim in the ocean, because it’s filled with fish poop!

Oh, and the guy in the pic, telling morans to ‘get a brian,’ is a classic!
