You automatically open your wallet when asked for your drivers license.

You still long for the 70s, 80s or 90s and complain about all the new music made since
2001. Plus you can only ride your motorcycle for 30 minutes or less before having to find a tree or shrub
along your country ride to relieve yourself at. Big Boy, I still like your humor.
You must have come from a family with lots of patience, or from a country that taught
you to have patience.

You have been in Thailand too long if you can understand the Thai language
almost as good as your mother tongue, or even better.
Wow, I think I would need another drink if I got in that shape.
