Day 470: I Am Given A Sign

I screech to a halt and fall from the car clutching my 'camera telephone'. I am preparing to take the photograph when a middle aged couple walk past and stop.

Lady: What are you doing?
Me: Taking a photograph of the sign.
Man: Why?
Me: I find it funny.
Lady: (As if she is a French Duchess and I am a cretin) What is funny about that sign?
Me: (Uncertainly) Nothing?
Man: Nowadays people take photographs of anything at all.*
Me: Yes.
Lady: Well, have a good day.
Me: Yes. You too. Goodbye.
Man to Lady:(Walking off) I think she was foreign.






And to think that this morning, I was going to give up my web-blog forever!


* Note: the conversation was in French, for I am in Quebec. What he actually said was "n'importe quoi", which is funnier.

HEY! I am only friends with you because of this weblog. Giving up this weblog is tantamount to giving up ME. Yeah?

As an owner of an official black anus (hee-hee) I'm happy to say all is well. Love the sign.

As many as you can fit in your fashionably large holdall, monkeylady.

Hi NWM

It's a sign, obviously.

The term is web-log not - oh do you know I can't be bothered. You'll just say you did it on purpose and call me a spazz and get away with it because it's all part of your 'charm'.

on my new train journey to work i pass the word 'cock' spray painted on a wall in 6' foot letters - would you like a picture of that too?

oh, just to clarify that was a genuine offer to NWM, rather than a reflection on any comments posted...
super.

$625 is a scandolous price for anus of any colour.

Demand a discount.

Noooooooooooooo. You CAN'T give up your webular-blog. I need my daily-ish dose of NWM like an OCD sufferer needs antibiotic handcleaning gunk. E.g. a lot. Merci. Etc.

Aren't you supposed to tastefully blur out the telephone number? You know, so the festive black anuses don't get swamped with unwanted telephone calls of a humorous and probably deeply personal nature?

Also, because my French is non-existent to none (but I can speak both HTML and CSS. Also I conjugate ancient Greek on alternate Tuesdays [mmmm... Ancient Greeks...]) I have a lovely mental picture of a formally dressed shrimp heading out for the reception hall.

I have often wondered where all the African-American sodomites hang out.

I wonder if that festival gets much passing trade?

Priceless. Absolutely priceless. You'd never get this in the wilds of South London
