I wear "flip flops" with jeans, not during the winter though. They're Nike thongs though and they cost me a fortune so they're not your typical bogan style.

Only in the U.S.

-Will you see people ordering beers when they aren't even done with the beers they are drinking.

-Will you see people with stomaches so big they can't see anything lower, yet order half the menu at MacDonalds

-Will you see a pigeon wait untill the absolute last second before getting out of your way.

More later.

Only on the islands will you see:

People handing in their work a month later & the boss saying, good work.

People falling asleep on the beach till the next morning just to beat the rush of getting to the beach.

A beer in almost everyones hand at almost all times, perhaps not at church but after church they'll be drinking.

Goats roaming around eating your mom's plants. ( :mrgreen: )

Only in the Netherlands will you see:

An officer light a joint for a pedestrian.

A straight person bashed up by other straight people for bashing a gay person.

Women with half their faces hanging off due to excessive smoking.

Punctuality.

(From where I come from, no one gives a fuck about punctuality, out here you could be 2 minutes late & they begin having seizures & epileptic fits. :| )

-Will you see someone wearing all name brand clothes at a P.E.T.A. rally.

Only in Canada

- Will you see a large land mass occupied by small scattered multi-cultural populations in a mixed economy governed by a multi-party system where the country is officially bi-lingual.

Nothing really distinctive about Canada, except it's like a mini version of the U.S. with higher standard of living... and more snow :)

ONLY IN THE PHILIPPINES: (continued)
Punctuality.

doesn't exist, one could be an hour late for the scheduled time and that person would still be half an hour early. In here we call it "Filipino time."

Where garbage is dumped right below a "No littering" sign.

Where people hangout near a "No loitering" sign.

Where one bows his head and puts his hand in front when walking between two people.

Where the politicians entertain and the entertainers govern.

Where you can be "hip-hop" yet really know nothing about hip-hop.

You can pretend to be a gangsta yet the only one you've seen die in your whole life is your dead toenail.

Where you can skip work and miss payment on your salary/wages only to protest how the government is making you poorer.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!
