Dazza wants to know...

Why he couldn't get a decent cup of coffee in Florida.

Why the fringe (bangs) on mens haircuts all go straight across. (yes he had a haircut over there and looks terrible)

Why the random security searches at airports are not random.

Why someone would put artificial sweetener in their coke.

Why it's humane to have live bait vending machines.

Because he didn't hire me as a guide.

Because he paid to much to have a haircut.

Because we only target people who are not white.

Because it has less calories and even if you have type 2 diabetes you can drink it.

Because we don't believe bait have feelings.


How'd I do?

You seriously want more out of people who can't even poke a proper hole in a piece of paper?

is it at all possible there were exterior clues that it wasn't the best place to trust with his hair... before they started cutting?

Well see, when we put the government in charge of something usually stupidity results.

They need it cut and are fresh out of baking soda?

Well, um... WTF is a live bait machine and WTF was he doing in a place with such a thing?

I'm intrigued by the circumstances of this. Is he just talking about the fact that Coke is not made with real sugar, or did he actually see someone pop open a can of Coke, and pour a little packet of Sweet-n-Low into it?

Note to foot: Lookout doesn't party, certainly doesn't pay, but has seen some really really weird shit. I've seen people cut coke with baby powder, powdered sugar, baking soda, and even meth. people are just plain messed up.

Sorry, cut coke with meth? As in Crystal Meth, methamphetamine?

Gosh, my drugs are too strong, I know, I'll mix some different drug with it, there, perfect. I am soooo clever.

There are scare stories about people cutting coke with rat poison (which breaks down blood vessel walls) to enable faster absorbtion.

There was a recent fad over here for dipping marijuana into a substance containing tiny little grains of glass. Made the colas look like they were frosted with THC crystals. Ripped the shit out of people's lungs.

When I sold cars we had a finance guy that laced his coffee with meth all day, every day. He looked exactly like Beavis and often sounded like him too. That's one mormon who really misunderstood some of the rules.

He went on to a high-flying career in AIG, did he?

In the early to mid 90s a batch of "Amsterdam Black" was brought into my home town. "What's Amsterdam Black?" you ask? Take good quality cannabis ... and dip it in hash oil. The pot equivalent of a pan-galactic gargle blaster.

Thanks to Merc he now knows why he got the bad haircut.

He saw someone putting artificial sweetener into their cup of coke. He wondered if it was common practice.

He was at the World Fisheries Conference in Florida and that's where he saw the live bait vending machine.

Oh and yes, we have diet coke here too. I don't drink it though, and nor does anyone in our house.

That shit will kill you.

Answer to all of your questions: He was in Florida. Dumbest/weirdest people in the US bar none.
