Good one old man. Here's one for you to chew on:

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.

We just may be sisters. I love wearing tiaras, but you are right about the hoopskirts. By the way, of course you can bring your poodle to my party. That is... with her tiara on!

piddle! oops!!

I'm so glad you recovered from our party that dln threw for us at Harry's Bar to write this report. You sure had great legs in that pareo.

Excuse me, but all dln had to do was look ravishing. I did ALL the work! Is it true that Thin and Uncle Sam left together?

I'm on to you Degas... topping away... I thought this was one of the funniest "trip reports" I had read in a while. So, I'll save you the effort and top it myself.

And now,... I see the troll house cookie recipe request. Please, my dearest Degas, do tell us about the riot as promised by the headline of this posting.
-Sharon

Thank you Sharon!
This is a perfect read for the end of a day spent with cranky shoppers! LOL, funny & perfectly Degas~

"I pulled out two thin books that I could read in just a few minutes: "French War Heros in Modern Times" and another very popular one, "Major French Initiatives in the War on Terror." I had left another good one "How to Lose a Vast Colonial Empire without Really Trying" - this is so true! thank you, Degas! But since when you don't like the poor Frenches?

I think if you read carefully you may find it was actually an "anti-Degas riot."

OH and Degas is not a troll!

Sharon & Scarlett, glad you liked it. This is an old one for sure - boy how time flys.

Actually, we avoided a riot and my having to seriously hurt a dozen or so of those haughty little frenchmen, by
knocking over a beret stand, then hopping in a cab and speeding away.

I felt we had done enough advanced culture training for one day. Its hard to educate the unwashed french masses, but one must do his duty.

Degas, how funny you are! I just about cracked up reading that. So refreshing after so many "hogwash" posts on here lately. I don't know how I missed that one the first go round. Keep them coming with your great sense of humor. Thanks!

Yes Degas, a funny thread. But yours always are! Take good care.

Did you notice the Frenchman and his wife sitting beside you?
He was reading "Procrastination is the art of war", by S. Tank.
His wife was reading a jumbo folio American fashion magazine entitled, "Wider still and wider"
