This guy carries a HUGE bottle of shampoo, vitamin pills and
aspirin, but doesn't carry Imodium or a mobile phone...


Or an ace bandage or any other kind of first aid items.

He carries a towel that weighs half a pound...

But he doesn't carry a change of trousers...


Maybe he carries the big towel because that's what he wears when he's
washing his jeans in the sink in the bathroom in the bus station.

Then there are his jeans. He's obviously never gotten soaked to the
skin in cool weather in jeans and then had to live in them or go
naked. And his recommendation to cut them off if it gets hot--so what
does he do if it then turns cool?


He's also never been to the tropics.

You're 20oz Levies are way too warm...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
