These days, when friends ask me how I am, I offer an overly dramatic account of my recent bout with Covid, for which a boxing referee would immediately award Covid a TKO. It’s taken me three weeks to get off the mat . . . er, sofa. (See what I mean about overly dramatic?) Unable to pursue my usual pastimes, I’ve been combing through my backlog of photos. Here are a few I find questionable, in that each gives rise to a number of queries.
Take this one, for example:
Is there anyone walking around with only half a head? If so, are highlights really that person’s biggest concern? Also, if you blowdry half a head, does the other half stay wet?
Next up is a photo snapped by my friend Orli Shaham, a renowned pianist:
Her comment: “They must be delicious after they’ve been smoked.” My question: Is this concert venue affiliated with the restaurant in my neighborhood that keeps trying to hire a grilled man?
In these troubled times, most of us have questions about the future. I certainly do, along with a couple of questions about this sign:
My questions: How much for a regular Palm? And who decides whether someone has a Special Palm?
Last one, an excerpt from a letter a co-op board sent to my friend Constance:
Question from Michael, Constance’s husband: What do we do when we have used up both hands? My questions: Do waived hands hang out with waived rights? Or does the building management confiscate hands that have been waived? Actually, scratch that last question. I don’t want to know.
I do want you to send me photos, if you spot any questionable signs. Be well!
