aahh tourists. something about entering a national park makes people who I assume are normal in the outer world absolute idiots. my favorites that I was personally asked during my years in Yellowstone were variations on :

1) why do you make us wait an hour between eruptions of Old Faithful?

2) how do you feed all the animals?

3) who rounds up all the animals every night? -apparently to tuck them in bed

They should have had a sign posted that says,

"Please think of what you're asking, we can't answer you while laughing our as$es off".

It boggles my mind just how stupid some people can be! I get so ticked off everytime I say I'm from Canada the first thing people always say is "oh it's so cold there" as if Canada is just one big expanse of frozen tundra. In this day and age I find it hard to understand why so many Americans are still so ignorant about their neigbors to the north!

I joke to my future sister-in-law about how I have to rebuild the igloo and feed the huskies every day. She thinks it's a riot how less-intelligent Americans are absolutely ignorant about Canada.
