He Threw a Rock and Told me to Go Fuck Myself: On Conversational Etiquette in Foregin Climes

Language may be an insurmountable barrier during your travels. You could be a mumbler. Everyone abhors a mumbler.

Bow politely before speaking. Unconditional surrender to violence will disarm even the most hostile speaker.

Remember: magniloquence is to be avoided when meeting chicken dealers.

Packets of tea and other soft objects will benefit from squishing. In cases of extreme compression they may be used to make calming infusions. In this way, you can stupefy those that thwart your dealings.

Stock profanity is unoriginal. Try to cultivate the creatively obscene. It will make you friends wherever you may fare.

Alarmists, agoraphobes, those who fear lisps, catamites, the parsimonious, the newfangled and frumpy should stay at home.

8 Year-old boys carrying stones should not be approached at all.
