In Prague (15 years ago) some A-Hole (American Hole) was trying to bond with me as I was the only English speaking person he had spoken to in a whole two days. He thought it was funny to be loud, drunk and say "DickWeed" to the people serving him beer. It should of been prounounced "Dicque", but what did I know after six weeks of being there?

Ugly American?

I've seen it.

Note: I could purchase stamps by pointing at them (and anything else) and smiling...........and I could buy anything by pulling out cash.

Cash, the true international language.
