Here we go again…

1. It’s not enough to have public sex on the beaches in Dubai and on the Queen’s lawn.
2. It’s not enough to go skinny dipping in the Japanese Emperor’s castle moat.
3. It’s not enough to fight with the Germans all over again over tourism.
4. It’s not enough to be a nation of tourist whiners.

And now, to make matters worse, 17 British tourists were arrested in Malia, on the Island of Crete, for insulting the Catholic Church by wearing ‘nun attire’ and naughty lingerie. Needless to say, it became an international incident, and the perps were allowed to go free by a court in Crete.

Moving from wild humans to wild animals, the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium in Powell, OH, is planning to build an on-site hotel or resort. I’ve heard of Zoo sleepovers, but a hotel for humans inside a zoo?

Zoos & Aquariums routinely do all sorts of nutty things to boost attendance, so here’s an idea - Make it a glass see-through hotel, so the people staying at the hotel become part of the zoo’s menagerie. 

What? If you’re willing to stay overnight inside a zoo, no reason why other people shouldn’t be able to buy a ticket and watch you snore.
