MR. GOOD PRICE

"I give you good price.  My name is Mr. Good Price."

   Greetings again from Bamako, Mali.  I travel to Dakar, Senegal this evening.
   I've heard the above several times in several places.  It's obviously a standard line.  Is everyone in this country named Mr. Good Price?
   Not much support for this on Google, however.

"SEAFOOD" DIET

   "I'm on a seafood diet.  If I see food, I eat it."
   Every tourist says this every time we order seafood.  Ugh.
   I thought it was as old as the hills, but so far I get the 1980s.
