Travel Advisory: Your Companion

by Jim Shahin
Page:

You’ve seen one mountain evaporating into the clouds, you’ve seen ’em all.

The Oblivious:
So, I guess y’all are what they call the indigenous peoples. In my country, people put something on called a shirt when they go out in public. Hey, youse guys wanna maybe put a little cheese on that?

The Authenticity Freak:
I don’t care what the little old lady told you, that region is too touristed for anyone in it to be believed.

Usually, people work out their differences when traveling. That’s because, in the end, they need each other. I know, for example, that the Itinerarian would rather not kill me because it is not on the schedule. And I’d rather not kill him because I’d have no one to read the road signs.

I’m just hoping that I don’t learn the language and he doesn’t find some downtime he needs to fill.
