Tukered out

Tukered out

Today’s post was gonna be another in the 7 Shots series, but as usual trying to limit potential photos to seven was a more difficult task than planned. And I kept wanting to include this one even though it didn’t really fit the theme. But that’s the nice thing about not blogging for dollars, you can post whatever you want and any one who complains looks like an ingrate for whining about what they get for free.

I’m surprised I haven’t found an excuse to post this photo before. Not that I have a foot fetish, but the feet of kicked back tuk tuk drivers working at napping is one of my standard photographic subjects. You just don’t usually find them in pairs. Um, the drivers, not feet. But if you didn’t know better you’d assume napping is the #1 duty of tuk tuk drivers. Which ain’t a bad way to make a living. Fleece an unsuspecting tourist or two early in your day, and you can then spend the rest of it parked in some shady spot catching up on your zzzzs.

That makes finding some sucker to take to a Special One Day Only Government Sponsored Gem Sale! hardly worth the effort. Except that usually means another comfy nap while said sucker maxes out his credit card scooping up the unbelievable bargains he finds thanks to your largesse. And if he spends enough, that means either a free lunch or free bottle of booze from the gem shop. Either of which make for a good excuse for another nap.

I’m not sure what it is you have to do in your current life to qualify you for coming back in your next as a tuk tuk driver, but it’s something I aspire to. In the meantime, just in case, I think I’ll go practice now.
