This makes me very worried about the state of my nation...
Let me say one thing first: The Poconos is "the place to go" for EVERYONE on the northern East Coast of America. Everyone comes here- why, I'm not sure(it's just TREES for god's sake), but it has the odd power of drawing the most... er... colourful people out by where I live. We get a lot of tourists, and they generally just clog up traffic and get vaguely lost. But there have been a few memorable moments...

Like this one guy. A New York City driver (lost as hell, but still going too damn fast on little local roads) was in front of me not a month ago as I made my way home from a particularly good grad party.

Like I said, this guy is going fast. Not just any kind of fast, but Too Damn Fast. And this is the woods, so there's nothing to stop him as he zooms his way around our quaint little country highways, right?

WRONG.

He hits a deer, which then flies back OVER his car and hits mine. Okay, I say, I'll pull over and asses the damage. He does the same.

He gets out of his car and starts stomping towards me.

Uh-oh, I think. He was big. Very Very Big. And scary. And visibly furious. And he was coming my way.

Not wanting to provoke him too much, I roll down my window as he reaches me. He leans in, this godawful crazed look in his eyes. He looks me square in the eye, and in the most nasal Brooklyn accent I have ever heard, goes:

"You wanna bunch of money? We could have a lawsuit! The government should keep their damn animals penned up!"

And I live in the same country as this idiot... good god. Fucking American tourists. *headsmack*
