Get the Tourist mug.When a New Yorker encounters a large group of motionless tourists congregating in the middle of a sidewalk where locals conducting their daily comings and goings, one may lower their shoulder, maintain current speed and plow through the mass in an attempt to knock as many out of the way.

While walking at a fairly fast clip, I played some Christmas time tourist bowling while walking to the subway tonight.
I got a 1, 10 split on a group of Germans holding hands four across standing on West 50th Street.
Did you see that fat, dad jeans wearing rube jump out of the way when he realized he was about to be knocked over?
