Whilst out shopping with daughter, we stopped to look in the window of the pet shop. Two squirrelly type things mating. Daughter 'what are they doing mummy?' Answer - playing piggybacks. No photographs I am afraid

"What's the lady doing in the window?" "She's waiting."
"Why is she in her underwear?" "She's going to sleep soon."
"What's she waiting for then?" "For bedtime, I guess."
"Why does she wait with her curtains open?" "Uh, um..." *cough, cough*

On the main road from Bern to Olten, there is a showroom selling lawnmowers,
and there it is for all to see, the name of the proprietor in huge letters:
"WILLY HURTER" -

I had an English teacher named Mr. Dick. He named his baby daughter Ophelia.
Ophelia Dick. Cruel man.

Just been checking out the "For Sale" pinboard in the MParc shopping centre in Basel.
I couldn't resist taking a snap of these two notices which complement each other perfectly...
For those of you unfamiliar with the German language, the advert on the left is selling a violin from the year 1786 and is asking for Fr 10 000.
The advert on the left is offering violin lessons. | | The following 3 users would like to thank Flashman4 for this useful post: | |

Only in Switzerland will you see a note selling a CHF 10K antique on a supermarket noticeboard.
Priceless... |

Saw this wine on offer in Co-op and thought of this thread. Not sure whether the wine is smooth and velvety or just plain ropey though | | This user would like to thank grumpygrapefruit for this useful post: | |

You'd think that a company selling stationery products would know how to spell the word.

Or maybe it means once you have got it to your home, school, office or wherever, you don't remove it again. Hence it is a stationary stationery set.

He stopped at a post office in this tiny village in Norfolk to see if he could buy one. He couldn't see any books or even pens on the shelves so he asked the girl behind the counter if she kept stationery.
"Yes" was her reply. "Right up until the last minute, then I go wild" |
