I was thinking about the age old tourist problem...

Everywhere we went, if there was a photo needed, we either had to ask some poor passer by to take the shot or leave one person out of the photo. This has been going on since Nicephore Niepce snapped the first photo in 1814. Well I was thinking about it last night, because there isn't always someone to around to take a photo for you.

The solution is simple, take someone with you on your trips that no one likes, no one will care that he is not in any photos.

It's like when people used to escape from the Russian Gulags, they worked in pairs, then took a third person along, someone weaker than them, some one who would not survive the journey across Siberia. That way when things got rough he would be the one to die (if all went according to plan). It was referred to as taking a sandwich with you. " Zackarski Didn't make it? That's alright, Can I have a little more left thigh please, I prefer the darker meat".
