Funny Photo Friday:

Checking our UK bank accounts and moved the last of our savings to checking. We heard 'nil' used our whole time abroad, but this is the first time it's shown up in a bank account!

Funny Photo Friday: I think they are a little optimistic

This is taken from from the owner's manual of our Citroen Saxo. Don't forget we are talking about a car with a 1.1 liter engine (maybe the size of a basketball), that didn't like going over 75 without overheating, and whose brakes worked just enough to avoid ramming the car in front of you.


I would have loved to see someone try it though.








Just another photo or two to give you a size comparison of the good ol' Saxo.

Funny Photo Friday: what you won't find for sale in the paper

We visited Megan's sister in NW Iowa this week and found a few strange things in her newspaper. Actually, we went to the Dairy Dandy and the entire experience was weird, but we didn't bring the camera with us. Too bad. It meant all we could do was laugh at the "Vegetable Burger" on the menu. Meant "for veggie lovers," it came with one beef patty, lettuce and tomato, with the option of making it a double...



We wondered if it meant the meat sandwiches slept around or just the meat...








The "noon lunch" is a little funny, but so are the fact that they serve "taverns" as food. Are there payment plans? (Jennie tells us these are like sloppy joes)

Funny Photo Friday: It means something else here, but still kind of funny...

This one may only be funny to our English friends, but for those of you that aren't quite as up to speed on your British parlance, here is a refresher.

Funny Photo Friday: that's a lot of children to make happy

So it was on the Avenue of Americas (6th), but seriously... seems an awful big title to fill for a park smaller than our old Manhattan apartment.

In NYC.

Funny Photo Friday: when a sweater is not enough

Yup, they were on all four paws. This was most definitely taken in Manhattan.

Funny Photo Friday: American Sizes

Well Starbucks has Tall, Grande, and Venti so why not?

My sister snapped this at a conference center. If only it were always that easy to find a girl, eh, men?

Funny Photo Friday: At Least They are Thorough

Any Questions?

Postojna Cave National Park, Slovenia

Funny Photo Friday: so could this car go sideways?

Oops. We missed last week's funny photo and now we're a day late on this week's. Tsk, tsk. I guess we've just been so incredibly busy discussing the Fate of the Blog, that we've lost track of time... Anyway, here's an old one from about March.


Not the best photos as they were taken from my phone... but the coincidence of where this van parked near my office in Newcastle was too good to pass up.

Funny Photo Friday: At least he looks embarrased

In Whistler Village, British Columbia Canada.

Funny Photo Friday: What was that?

The inevitable translation photos...

Italy... and yes this is the English menu

Kotor, Montenegro- Estimated?!?

Carcasonne, France

Funny Photo Friday: America

In honor of the Fourth, here are a few photos from the last year of things taking some claim in American-ness...

Funny Photo Friday: Don't you always feel short on outlets?

From a work project in Newcastle. I think the electrical contractor went a little crazy here.

Funny Photo Friday: A new kind of environmentalism

Funny Photo Friday: Mmmmmm, sliced milk.

Durham, England.
If you can't tell, there's nothing but meat in that refrigerator.

Funny Photo Friday: Wonder if it floats...

Somewhere in the mountains of Albania. For real.

Funny Photo Friday: So does that mean it could elect its own president?

Not technically a photo but a 'printscreen' of our laptop. Trying to figure out how to top up our pay as you go mobile phone. Look at the 'country' highlighted under Afghanistan. I mean, really. I know it's remote, but...
