Everyone is familiar with the saying "boys will be boys". In international circles, there's a new saying that's gaining traction..."Americans will be Americans."
Aka, people from the US of A will continue to prove themselves to be really, really stupid.
We certainly didn't help our case this week. Two American tourists were recently stopped at Athens International Airport in Greece when a checkpoint official noticed they had 6 human skulls in their carry-on bags. Feel free to read that again. I know I did.
But in true American tourist spirit, these two patriots were not murderers, they were just really, really stupid. Here's the article.
"The skulls were found in a scanner check during a stop-over in Athens on their way back to the United States," said a police official who requested anonymity. "The coroner confirmed they were human skulls."
The two young tourists said they had bought the skulls in a souvenir shop on the island of Mykonos and believed they were fake, the official said, adding they had been released pending trial.
So many questions!
1. SIX?! Six skulls?! Really?! What the hell are you going to do with six skulls?
2. If you're going to be buying a bulk order of very realistic looking skulls on a creepy Greek island, wouldn't you want to make sure that, I don't know, they're NOT REAL?!
3. If you ARE going to buy yourself six realistic human skulls, why oh why would you PUT THEM ALL IN YOUR CARRY-ON LUGGAGE?!? Did you think that the person manning the bag-scanner is just going go, "Ho-de-hum...magazines, chewing gum, romance novels, six human skulls, iPods..."
4. SIX?!??!?
5. Man, the things people will do these days to get a head! (Heh)
6. Are you just going to like, put them on your coffee table at home? And then invite people over and they'll be like, "Oh, that's interesting, you have six human skulls on your coffee table, I have a few at home myself."
7. SIX?!??!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?
