"Amerians make a legal pad list of things to do…"
Guilty as charged, but it is a list of things that I might want to do, not what I WILL do. I use these lists to help me when I get in an area, there are usually only a few things that are high on the list, and I may not do any of them.
"look at tourist attractions every day and are also nuts. And when not looking at them, they drink."
Guilty as charged, at the start of a trip. After that, I calm down and go at what is a comfortable pace for me. Much faster than most and WAY faster than a longterm traveler, but then my trips are usually only 2 to 4 weeks and I am crazy anyway.

Hey, what a great idea to make money.
Sell tours. Put people up in cheap hotels, sell them toilet seats if these are not provided, and show them how to live on $10 a day, but charge them $200 a day, EACH, double occupancy.

"if you want to meet nice women, you need to be a nice man."
If only that were true. When we are younger, the nice girls tend to go after the "bad boys" that treat them like crap. When we are older, this motto works better, but by then many of the women are "damaged" by the bad boys they dated/married when they were young. Maybe in other cultures the women still go after the nice guy, but not much here in the US.
I guess what you need to be is a nice guy that dresses/acts like a bad boy.
Another quote along these lines is: "Everyone is looking for Mr/Miss Right but no one is trying to BE Mr/Miss Right.

My father would kill for one of these. The only problem, besides it being illegal in theUS, is he wants to use it to stop people from talking on cell phones while driving. A commendable goal, but the only thing more dangerous than a person on a phone is one trying to figure out why the call just got dropped.

Something I have noticed when walking in crowds. When you are walking straight towards someone, which way that person goes to get out of the way depends on which side of the road they drive on. Even if they don't drive. If you drive on the right, you tend to move right, etc.
It can be funny to watch Europeans in an American environment, although I would bet Americans are more fun to watch in an European environment.
