Never Go Caving with a Bun in the Oven
Never go caving with a bun in the oven,

Since you can’t see your feet,
You might slip on some peat,
and at the very least, blow out a shoe.

Never go caving with a bun in the oven,
You really shouldn’t even wander that far.
You might get lost along the way,
which would ruin your day,
’cause you left all your snacks in the car. (more…)

How to Travel Europe on a Dime…or Less
People are always coming up to me and asking, “Hey Big John, how can I see Europe on the cheap?” and “What’s the best way to travel Europe on a dime?” and “Why are you so ruggedly handsome?” Okay, so nobody’s ever actually asked me any of that stuff; but if they did, I would have a thing or two say about it!
Big John knows about traveling cheap in Europe and really making that dollar stretch! But you don’t have to take my word for it.

I would ordinarily charge thousands of dollars for this information but today I’m giving it to you absolutely free! (more…)
