Many years ago i spent a lot of time in Bali .I was a fisherman and had plenty of spare time in the off season . On one 5 week stay where i mixed and stayed with locals in Kuta a local guy asked me my job in Aus , I replied "fisherman" to which he shook my hand and patted my back . Every time i saw him he treated me like a King and his friends would shake my hand and go out of their way to please me . This went on for weeks . Then one day talking to this guy he says you Polisi to which i replied " no fisherman " and he says " i think you say policeman" . I wasn't greeted the same after that!
