Travelogue III: Word Games

I had the fish. $5.95
'Asinine' adj. extremely stupid or foolish.
'Asshole' n. an asinine individual, often American.
This similarity of words occurred to me yesterday as I unavoidably listened to the fat bloke who was simultaneously dining and working on his laptop in a waterside restaurant. Chill man, or if you can't do so please be uncool less loudly. If not you will risk becoming as loathsome as the reptiles we British export to the world's watering holes every summer. There are none of them here in Panama so far as one can tell with the result that we are not regarded as the scum of the earth. Which is nice.
