how do you know when you look your worst??


When strangers take the liberty to remind you of that
not by telling you that you look like shit
but just by making that effort to ask you if you are ok
especially when it's many strangers,
then you will really start to wonder if there is a dark cloud hanging over your head

Laughter is the best medicine....they said

Well, we all know where spaghetti comes from now
but back in the days, people are a lot more gullible and a lot less curious.

So, back in the year 1957, on April fools day
the British Broadcasting Corporation tried a startling trick on its news show Panorama.
Journalist Richard Dimbleby offered viewers a tour of a "spaghetti harvest" in Ticino, Switzerland.
"The last 2 weeks of March are an anxious time for spaghetti farmers," Dimbleby earnestly reports as a family was shown plucking strips of pasta off trees. " There's the chance of a late frost, which, while not entirely ruining the crop, generally impairs the flavor." The story concluded, " for those who love this dish, there's nothing like homegrown spaghetti."
After the report ran, the BBC was flooded with calls from people asking where they might get a spaghetti tree. They were reportedly told to "place a sprig or spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."

Here's a woman harvesting spaghetti...

The last sunset...


It will never be the same without you...
