Jos_38 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Why do you ask that? Does my post need to be plagiarized to have your respect>? Just enjoy.......I will submit more soon. Thank You. It's always a great idea to post Your source, in this case it's possible to fina a stickboy posting from way back in 2009 - being quite similar... http://www.stickboydaily.com/travel/you-know-youve-been-in-thailand-too-long-when/ But I would think digging beyond page 1 of google would give some older versions even... So just a polite question as to where did YOU find it ? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jos_38 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 And answers to the post... 1. I have never seen a oneway street in Thailand 2. Yes I do, at least some fruits not banana and oranges 3. No I do not, no thainess there, I go all the way and get my drivers license back the next day... 4. No - But I am beginning to like Isuzu D-Max 5. Yes I can 2009 when I got married 6. it is, shorts are only for casual wear 7. I wouldn't know as I never had a bargirl next to me, and never saw anyone who actually did eat bugs 8. Never tried that too 9. Wine is never the right choice, that goes with white, red or rose 10. My wife never said that, and I would think I would reply with "Whaaa aa aa aaaa aat ??" 11. I never did meet a bargirl, or at least I never met someone saying she was a bargirl, and never met anyone with a deadly ill mother, I think I would show some compassion when I do... 12. My wife do have a family and sure as I do, she also have a great loyalty towards the family, she do not have kids (I do), she never married before (I have been) - She and her family do not have a buffalo and there are no pets in the family too, no goldfish... 13. it is, no one in the world is important enough to actually NEED a mobile... 14. Not in temples and houses 15. I have racing pedals they hurt Your feet actually, so no I don't 16. I always enjoyed songkhran, with themple going in the morning, and then food with the extended family 17. I will never become an expert of that for sure, I do have an eiffeltower for sale but apart from that... nope... 18. I never tried to date with a gold selling lady, probably a great aproach though, at least an icebreaker 19. Dogs are dogs, better leave them that way, then they will not disturb my circles too 20. The writer of this list do not seem overly intelligent, so no not yet 21. Not possible, I am not driving an 18 wheeler 22. If I am having an emergency situation yeah why not 23. No never go to a bar, balloons or no balloons 24. Sure... sanambin (airport - get the hell back to Your hole in the dessert kind of thing) 25. It is, unless Your watch have a calendar function, as some peoples actually plan ahead not from beer to beer 26. Nope I like the sun too so not really thai there too I am sure I do have, and any other -ness . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
