Paris Soir

It really was evening, so there's nothing related to the Parisian evening paper! Just been playing in my Photoshop... hope you gonna like it!

Old England

Another shot from Paris, with its beautiful architecture. The building from this image is Le Grand Hotel, at first level it's Old England, a fashion store.

Today's joke:

Mrs. Johnson decided to have her own portrait painted by a very famous artist. She told the artist:
- Paint me with 3-carat diamond earrings, a large diamond necklace, glimmering emerald bracelets, and a beautiful red ruby pendant.
- But ma'am, you are not wearing any of those things!
- I know, said Mrs. Johnson. My health is not good, and my husband is having an affair with his secretary. When I die I'm sure he will marry her, and I want the bitch to go nuts looking for the jewelry...

La Vie a Paris

Here another collage with images from Paris, a collage that tries to show the people of Paris... well, maybe most of them were tourists just like me! But it's fun walking on Paris's streets...

Today's joke:

Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House in D.C., one from Illinois, one from Tennessee and a third one from Kentucky. They all go with a White House official to examine the fence. The Tennessee contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil:
- Well, he says, I figure the job will run about $900: $400 for materials, $400 for my crew and $100 profit for me.
The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says:
- I can do this job for $700: $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me.
The Illinois contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers:
- $2,700.
The official, incredulous, whispers back:
- You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?
The Illinois contractor whispers back:
- $1000 for me, $1000 for you, and we hire that guy from Kentucky to fix the fence!
- Done! replies the government official. And that my friends, is how it all works!!!

Two Wheelers

The best way to move faster in a busy town are the bicycles. Some people think bicycles are too big, so they found a different way to use those two wheels. Yep, that's another shot from Paris.

And now the today's joke:

While shopping in a food store, two nuns happened to pass by the beer,wine, and liquor section. One asked the other if she would like a beer. The second nun answered that, indeed, it would be very nice to have one, but that she would feel uncomfortable about purchasing it.
The first nun replied that she would handle that without a problem. She picked up a six-pack and took it to the cashier. The cashier had a very surprised look, so the nun said:
- This is for washing our hair!
Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter and put a package of pretzel sticks in the bag with the beer, and tells her:
- The curlers are on me!

Looking in a wrong direction

Hey girls, I'm right behind you! Oh boy... yes, that's another shot from Paris, by the Seine river.

Got a joke too... somehow related to Paris!

On a flight from New York to Paris, soon after take-off the pilot announces:
- I'm sorry, but we have lost one of our engines. Subsequently, we will arrive in Paris approximately half an hour late.
A few minutes later, he comes on again:
- Hate to disappoint you folks, but another engine is down. Don't panic - we've still got two going, but now we'll be about 2 hours late.
After another few minutes, he comes on again:
- Look, I am really sorry about this, but somehow we have lost our third engine. Still nothing serious to worry about, but we will be about five hours late to Paris.
After hearing this, the blonde turns to the guy sitting next to him and remarks:
- If we lose the other one, we'll be up here all night!

Eiffel Tower at Night

I don't know if during the winter time they do the same show, but when I was there last summer, I saw a magnificent light show offered by the Paris' symbol, The Eiffel Tower.
Here, in this shot which actually was taken at dusk, I made that tower look like the lights were really turned on.


Got a joke too... well, I had to translate it...

A big truck hits a wagon pulled by a horse, transforming it into a ball of metal and wood. The horse, as well as the only passenger from the wagon were badly injured. When the policeman came to investigate the accident, when he saw the injured horse in a huge pain, he pulled his gun and in an access of mercy, he shoots the horse, then he goes to the passenger, asking him:
- Sir, are you ok?
The passenger, who saw the shooting scene, says:
- Oh God, I never felt so good!

J'aime Paris

Howdy y'all!
Aren't y'all tired of these shots from Paris? If not, here's another one, well, actually 6 in 1!
Wish y'all a beautiful weekend!

Got a joke too:

A blonde gets on an airplane and sits down in the first class section. The stewardess tells her she must move to coach because she doesn't have a first class ticket. The blonde replies:
- I'm blonde, I'm smart and I have a good job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica!
The stewardess gets the head stewardess who asks the woman to leave and she says:
- I'm blonde, I'm smart, I have a good job and I'm staying in first class until we reach Jamaica!
The stewardesses don't know what to do because they have to get the rest of the passengers seated to take off, so they get the co-pilot. The co-pilot goes up to the blonde and whispers in her ear. She immediately gets up and goes to her seat in the coach section. The head stewardess asks the co-pilot what he said to get her to move. The co-pilot replies:
- I told her the front half of the airplane wasn't going to Jamaica!

Place de la Concorde

Here's the Concorde Plaza, the place where finally I found a spot to park my car! I didn't know where exactly was I, but I spotted it, turned 180 degrees, crossing right in front of a police car, and parked it! Well, that cop took a strange look at me, but probably due to my german license plates, didn't take any action! As you see this image, I was parked on the right side of the image... pretty central, isn't it? :D

Got a joke too:

I gonna watch my wedding video later on... backwards! 'Coz I love the end bit where she takes the ring off her finger, goes back down the aisle, jumps in the car... and disappears forever!

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!

The Armani Code

Today's upload is a shot from Paris... last night I was reviewing my pictures from the french capital and believe me, the feeling that I had last night I didn't have it when I was right there, in Paris... well, I miss Paris!

Today's joke is here!

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.
They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear,
I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.
I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am. Bastards.
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.
I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food.
I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.'
I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage..
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.
The dog receives special privileges.
He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return.
He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant.
I observe him communicating with the guards regularly.
I am certain that he reports my every move.
My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe.

For now.........

Golden

I'm not sure if this building belongs to the National Music Academy of France or it's just a wing of this huge architectural jewel, but for sure, on the right side it is the Academy that I mentioned. That's another shot from Paris, France.

Two if by the river

Nothing spectacular here, I was just walking by the river Seine (Paris, France) when I saw these two lovers sitting down there, and I pointed my camera and shot before they do any move that could perish my intentions! Unfortunately, at that moment I had mounted on my camera the 45mm lens and it's not the best for distance, but I was afraid I gonna lose 'em while I switch the lenses...

It's all about metal

Eiffel Tower and a piece of metal, all together... well, both are made outta metal, isn't it?

Tuat Chaapa'ai - The Stargate from underground

Here's a mixture of four pictures, one from Bears Cave - Romania, two from Paris - France, and one at home... Lucky me, the guy from the image was wearing blue cloths, so I just had to add on him that USAF!
