Riders Wanted


Hello everyone!
Here's another shot from Paris (many thanks for your comments and favs on my Armani thing!), shot that I took while wandering on its beautiful streets.
I am kinda disappointed this morning... my freaky external memory just died, and I'm afraid I lost everything what's on it... but even so, here's another joke!

A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said:
- You're beautiful!
Then he fell asleep again. His wife had never heard him say that before, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said:
- You're cute.
The wife was disappointed because instead of "beautiful", it was now "cute".
She asked:
- What happened to "beautiful"?
The man replied:
- The drugs are wearing off!

  10. Wonderful shot! Don't panic on the external memory; mine did the same thing, and I took it to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. They took it out of the case it was in, put it in a new case (which meant it now had a new connection) and it works fine. (After that I backed up everything onto DVD!)

  23. Whats so amazing is the identical series of bikes which gives it the surreal look of a very ordered society! Paris is a beautiful City to roam! The flash files should be easy enough to recover..
