Field Thistle



While I was pumping gas to my car, I saw these beautiful field thistles and I'm sure you realize what was the next move... that's another shot from Virginia.

Today's joke is from a french friend:

L'institutrice fait l'appel:
- Ben Larbi ?
- Présent !
- Ben Youssef ?
- Présent !
- Ben Ali ?
- Présent !
- Ben Kahoul ?
- Présent !
- Ben Mahmound ?
- Présent !
- Ben Oît ?
Pas de réponse.
- Ben Oît ?
Alors un petit garçon blond dit timidement :
- Je m'appelle Benoît, madame...

And translated:

The teacher checks the students presence:
- Ben Larbi?
- Present!
- Ben Youssef?
- Present!
- Ben Ali?
- Present!
- Ben Kahoul?
- Present!
- Ben Mahmound?
- Present!
- Ben Oit?
No response.
- Ben Oit?
Then a little blond boy said shyly
- My name is Benoit, Madame ...

    It's true, the colour of this flower/weed leaps out of the frame,
    no wonder you just had to 'shoot' it... I would have done the same.
    Simply classy,

    WHAT?!?!?! You didn't make thistle soup!?!? Don't try it, because Jock told us it can be poisonous if you don't know how to make it correctly. AH! Excellent shot! (:
