John Frenaye over at TripSo.com has an amusing post on 25 “Stupid Traveler Comments” (along with the bemused agents’ unspoken responses).

A few of my favorites:

  • How much is a train to Jamaica? (We are sold out, but if you call Amtrak, they have space. Be sure to ask for a seat on the left side of the train so you don’t miss the Lost City of Atlantis on the way down.)
  • The hotel would have been fine but all the employees were speaking Spanish. (The next time you are in Mexico, we will order some French-speaking Mexicans for your convenience.)
  • I am a vegetarian. Do they have vegetables in Kenya? (It is a strange thing in Africa, countries with two vowels in their names are vegetableless. It is just like some dry counties here in the United States.)
