My brother
worked as a diving instructor in the carribean (spawny get). Anyhoo, a large proportion of his customers were american tourists on day trips from cruise liners. Some of these people fulfilled every stereotype of US tourists and then some.

My brother : "Be careful not to damage the coral reef, its actually a living animal"
Tourist : "So how do you know where to find it?"

Another one, standing on the beach looking at the water as it fades from azure down to deep blue : "Do they sell bottles of the different colours in the gift shop?"
