"Can a man be sexually assaulted by a woman? She did all the things inherent to that term— hectoring me, grabbing my penis, my ass, etc., but I’m not sure I could accuse her of it. Plain old assault, maybe, but there was no real threat of penetration, and that, to me, seems key to the more serious charge, as does a heightened element of fear." So there has to be a threat of penetration??

It feels like Sedaris has never seen the Lion King. "Plus, the hotel staff said “hakuna matata,” which means “no worries” in Swahili, incessantly. “Could I maybe have more coffee?”“Hakuna matata.”“I’m not feeling terribly well.”“Hakuna matata.”“God, that’s a big snail.”“Hakuna matata.”'

David Sedaris refuses to take any pictures while on safari despite the pressure from his guide to do so. When he did take a picture finally, it wasn't if an animal. "Rather , it was for a sign painted on the wall of a gas station. “No Smorking,” it read."

"I’m always depressed when people who have sex for money come on to me, and it’s all the worse when they’re strung out or homely. “You look like you’ll settle for anything” is how I interpret their solicitations."

This second story seems to be about his frustration not being able to control other people. It's a losing battle, man, read some Marcus Aurelius

"OK, but unlike you, I am actually not an asshole," um I've got bad news for you sir... Also he's talking about this weird European thing where you can sit anywhere on the train unless someone specifically reserved their seat and then you have to move but you have no idea which seats are reserved or not and you just get to be surprised and inconvenienced

Are we supposed to find it charming how self-involved Sedaris is?

Also, there was threat of penetration (not to promote the idea that that is necessary) she literally offered to f him up the ass with something multiple times
