*You can give wrong directions if someone asks because you know they're never going to see you again
*People believe any bit of trivia you tell them, no matter how inanely ridiculous
*Pointing out "Stars" can distract someone you pissed off long enough for you to make your getaway ("Look! It's Ben Affleck!")
*The junk you couldn't sell at last month's rummage sale can be recycled and passed off as trinkets once belonging to a major celebrity...at ten times the price
*Tourists' autos are usually well insured
* The people that annooy you most, eventually leave (unfortunately, some of them come back with the "snowbird" season)
*Even 3,000 miles from Wisconsin, you can actually find someone who knows what a BRATWURST is
