Its how close you get to acting them out that determines if you are still friends after the trip. :-P No worries about offending, I think anyone who has ever traveled for any length of time with another person has at least entertained “what if” scenarios.

I was even thinking about that scene in the Princess Bride just last week! Although sometimes your travel partner sets it up for you. When I first began traveling with Patrick it was in Argentina, and we stopped to see alligators. Well i thought they were alligators, they were in fact Caimans ( but either way they looked like they could bite you nicely) and he wanted his picture. The thing started to come out of the water for him and he became upset that I dropped the camera and refused to take a picture. Love it!

Apparently this is because there are toxic compounds in a crocodile's brain, and when used in the right way they can kill a person with absolutely no evidence of poisoning - it just looks like natural causes. So if you really need to bump off a travel partner when in that part of the world, all you need is a dead crocodile and a friendly native who knows what to do.
