It Has Happened So Many Times,

in my travels abroad,

where in the middle of nowhere I know what I want, I have left the phrase book in the hotel and am stuck for words, well here is a great idea, an Iconspeak T-shirt, which is covered with basic pictograms illustrating everything from a train to a phone to a lock to a clock to a bathroom, all you have to do is point and with a little luck, the person will realize you're not indicating your shirt qualities, but rather, asking a question, what a neat idea, so maybe next time I ask 'can I take your picture?', I will not receive a cup of solidified yaks milk, and no I am not on commision, I just thought it a neat idea, also I have no problems with Yaks, I just do not like their milk.
