How many Yanks do you actually know, Yom? We're not all that stupid. Even I know, for instance, that if you want to see hippo racing you have to go to New Zealand.

Haha someone who can make a joke out of himself. :D Kudos!

I've had a few ask me if I had ever ridden on a kangaroo's back - and dead serious about the question too. hehe but yeh every country has its fair share of morons.

EDIT: I've also managed to convice a few that I had a pet crocodile and it never ceases to amaze me how many ask if I know steve irwin. Nevermind the fact that I do actually know steve in person but still the odds of anyone knowing someone famous like that is just a million to one!
