...and now
all that's left
are the browning flowers
masking-taped
to the nearest reflector post.

The Guy with the Big Round Bright Orange Head

When I took this shot all I could think of was the joke about the Guy with the Big Round Bright Orange Head...

So here goes...

"A guy with a big round bright orange head was walking down the street with his girlfriend, and ran into a friend he hadn’t seen in years.

The friend said, “Hey, it’s been a long time! What in the world happened to your head?”

The guy said, “Oh, that. A few years ago I found a genie bottle in an alley. I rubbed it and a genie came out and granted me three wishes.

My first wish was to be independently wealthy, which I happily am.

My second wish was to have the most beautiful woman in the world. And, well, that explains my beautiful girlfriend.

My third wish — and this is where I think I may have gone horribly, horribly wrong — was to wish for a big round bright orange head.”


Its the kind of joke that divides people, you either think it is hysterically funny, or you don't get it. :)
