Top 10 Panama: Daily Oddities II

1. The women body builders at the gym—yikes.
2. Construction workers napping on the curb.
3. The “Chino” at “The Chino” answering to “Chino”
4. The amount of dog poop on the sidewalk.
5. Cab drivers pick you up even if someone else is in the taxi. Like a prostitute.
6. Salon is spelled Saloon. Cowboys need haircuts too.
7. People have live-in maids in two bedroom apartments.
8. Halls Cough Drops are sucked on like delicious candy or mints.
9. DJs feel the need to interrupt songs on the radio with their own jibberjabber.
10. Beer on tap does not exist— if you are feeling nostalgic, The Londoner pours beer from a bottle into pint glasses for that near authentic result.

I hate to tell you this Robin but beer on tap does exist. You just don’t know where to find it.
The radio DJ’s drive me crazy! Actually, I can’t listen to those stations at all. The DJ’s constantly talk over the song, repeat sound effects like laugh tracks, smashing glass, horns, whatever. And they do this sometimes on top of sweet love songs or ballads. It’s ridiculous. It’s as if they have no respect for the music they are playing. I prefer to listen to the cool jazz station, what is it, 89.3 FM?
Well written and rather clever. Funny stuff.
