Weird.... that was my phone number about 30 years ago when I lived in Savannah. Srsly.

Not enough bars on that cage, the kids can reach the driver.

Looks like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

I assume that this is in New Dehli, India. But the leather shop in back of it has lettering in English and Hebrew. Any ideas as to why?

Maybe it's a feather shop.

It's a father shop. Those are orphans looking for a new papa. Aba is Hebrew for daddy.
Shawnee123 • Nov 2, 2009 7:04 pm
The father inventory looks like a little depleted. Don't the new ones come in on Tuesdays?

Speaking of which, they are trying to allow pedicabs in Philadelphia.

Bravo, sir (or madam as the case may be). That's the funniest thing I've read in weeks. And it might actually be true.

I don't see any busking going on here, and the associations with Slumdog Millionaire are mildly unpleasant (i.e., blinding kids to be better buskers)

Why not? Jews are allowed in India, as far as I know. A lot of Indians avoid leather, or is that just the untanned hides?
Anyway, welcome to the Cellar, ko12957. :D

I guess there might be some connection between the hebrew script and the leather shop - Hindus hold cows sacred, and so would not touch leather (I think), yet there are non-hindus who use leather goods, so there will be a leather industry, and the leather industry will be in the hands of non-hindus.

Mind you, cricket balls are leather-wrapped cork, and many indians - including Hindus - are crazy for cricket. I'm not sure how this works out, kinda like a jewish or muslim guy playing football and catching the pigskin. Hmmm

How do they get the leather to wrap around those tiny balls crickets have?
Pie • Nov 3, 2009 1:20 pm
Untrue. India has a thriving leather-goods industry. It's all part of the hypocrisy.

I think that girl in the middle window of the bus is wearing her grandmother's teeth.:D

Actually, before they get wrapped in leather, crickets have huge balls - half their body size. That is why we wrap them - otherwise it makes the human males feel insecure.
And that is why crickets chirps are so high pitched.

I respectfully disagree. Although there is plenty of fun involved, it's really adult fun. The busk stops here:
