Sour, your description of the stairway reminded me of a definition from "sailing: a sailor's dictionary" (apologies to any who find this too non-PC)

"Distress Signals - International signals which indicate that a boat is in danger. For example, in Italian waters: moaning, weeping, and wild gesticulations; in French waters: fistfights, horn-blowing, and screamed accusations; in Spanish waters: boasts, taunts, and random gunfire; in Irish waters: rhythmic grunting, the sound of broken glass, and the detonation of small explosive devices; in Japanese waters: shouted apologies, the exchange of calling cards, and minor self-inflicted wounds; and in English waters: doffed hats, the burning of toast, and the spilling of tea."

Hmmm. I don't see "insane laughter" anywhere in that list, but then, nor is there an entry for "American waters." Maybe they gave you wide berth, because they thought you were sinking, and didn't want to get sucked down too?

Does that read the same as 'avoid the crazy man'?

 

[Bunnylady]

Or "avoid the American;" same difference.

Or perhaps it was the presence of the little blonde from Boston with her hand firmly planted on my back yelling, "Keep going, they ain't getting in."

Ah, the ol' "speak loudly, and ferry a Broody Magician" tactic -works well in almost any venue (other than courtrooms and public libraries)

smackage...


must smack all of those refusing to stick toothpicks in olives!

 

[oldrooster]

By the way.....I love olives. But I didn't eat the ones in the eye sockets.....that's just improper.

Speaking of olives I remember one eppisode of grace under fire when grace offered someone a virgin martini and they asked what that was she replied "a glass of water with a couple of olives in it" so I"ll buy the Kingdom a round of moat water martini's with eye socket olives in them.....

Howdy, OR, where have you been hiding ?

In the catacombs, and avoiding Harvey's drunken advances, he apparently has a strange fascination of live chickens and peach preserves. I think ray stevens sang a song about him.

I recently visited the catacombs.
