What is the world coming to? What a tragedy.


Maybe we can put together a care package or a few jokes for Ric Zito
to keep his spirits up in France during these trying times? ;-)

Not the clowns !!! Mind you , i was wondering how Ric had so much time
to post here lately. ;-p
You are going to get me in trouble Frank or I am going to get me in
trouble. I was not saying Ric worked as a mime or clown.

I was assuming that these mimes probably hang around street corners in
France bringing great joy and good cheer to the entire populace. ;-)
I thought Ric and others might need a bit of cheering up while these
mimes are on strike.



BTW, anyone ever hear from Jacques Steiner who used to post here. He
lived in Paris. Great fellow and he had great racing/auto stores like
Doc.

Monsieur Jacques Steiner est réellement le premier ministre du Canada. Il se
retire en novembre!

Monsieur Steiner est un lurker.

HOW?!!! ...By dying grotesque public deaths?

....One would think the strike would be joy enough.

There is precious little difference between mimes and "regular"
panhandlers, and the margin goes against the mimes.

ROFL! Great post!
We saw one in Manhattan last night and; despite the spirit of the day
and one of the best fireworks displays I've ever seen, perhaps _the_
best; I still wanted to spit on her.

BTW, do "regular" panhandlers have a union in France like the mimes?
