    No I'm not a moderator, but the OP asked a question, and all you are doing is trying (and failing) to be funny.

    Mr Wang, even though you are a newbie you will have no doubt realised that sometimes you hear the distant sound of 'Nee Naw Nee Naw'

    This can be identified as the 'fun police' - I do find though that generally they find something better to do and go away :D

    He's asked his question.
    He's had numerous replies, all along the same lines.
    & he's not been seen since. :beer::beer:

    Travel related joke
    As US tourists in Israel, a man and his wife were sitting outside a Bethlehem souvenir shop, waiting for fellow tourists. An Arab salesman approached them carrying belts. After an impassioned sales talk yielded no results, he asked where they were from. "America," the husband replied. Looking at her dark hair and olive skin, the Arab responded. "She's not from the States." "Yes I am." said the wife. He looked at her and asked. "Is he your husband?" "Yes." she replied. Turning to the husband, he offered..... "I'll give you 100 camels for her." The husband looked stunned, and there was a long silence. Finally he replied, "she's not for sale." After the salesman left, the somewhat indignant wife asked her husband what took him so long to answer, to which the husband replied, "I was trying to figure out how to get 100 camels back home."

    That's very true. However they only posted yesterday, so I presume they are at work.

    And when they do get home they will have pages and pages of people trying to be funny to trawl through.

    Hardly.

    They'll have 7 posts telling him/her that unfortunately that is the price of doing business with a TA and then several posts suggesting that he/she perhaps makes alternative financial arrangements before booking their jollies next time.

    Then they have several posts of simply side splitting hilarity to brighten their mood.

    talking of which.

    Two tourists were driving through Wisconsin. As they were approaching Oconomowoc, they started arguing about the pronunciation of the town’s name. They argued back and forth until they stopped for lunch. As they stood at the counter, one tourist asked the blonde employee. “Before we order, could you please settle an argument for us? Would you please pronounce where we are… very slowly? The blonde girl leaned over the counter and said, Burrrrrr, gerrrrrr, Kiiiing.”

    That's a matter of opinion.

    And it still makes it difficult for the OP to drawl through all the genuine posts.

    Maybe there should be a joke thread for those who think they are funny.

    Perhaps after reading all of the 'unwelcome' advice, his mood might be lifted by the multi award winning humour that is displayed on this thread.

    Gems like this one can't fail to raise a tittter.
    Taxiing down the tarmac, the jetliner abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After a hour-long wait, it finally took off. A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant: “What was the problem?”
    “The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine,” explained the flight attendant,” and it took us a while to find a new pilot.”
