They won’t know if they’re coming or going. Literally.

5.

Say this to some tourists and they’ll turn away from the poor taxi, shaking their heads at the bad review you’ve given him. They’ll probably never even notice what a handsome divil he is.

They’ll never track down that hotel iron, will they?
