Tune your GPS to Tunisia, cause you’re going to Hammamet. Known as the “San Tropez of Tunisia”, you can do anything from drink on the beach to drink in a club, or ride a donkey in the nearby desert.
Check out the really old pottery or even walk past the gay disco where Erwin Rommel got his nickname, “Desert Fox”.
In an ongoing effort here at Synapticblur to clarify types of bums, we present a quiz that helps distinguish the three main classes of wanderers: the tramps, the vagrants, and the vagabonds. Sometimes, a person can even be multiple or all three types. The answer key is below.
1. One who rides upon a freight train of a railroad without a permit
2. One who acts suspiciously around a steamboat landing
3. Drunk who begs for or demands sugar
4. Pickpocket
5. Wandering beggar of money, food, or clothing
6. Street-walking musician
7. Thief on an omnibus
