    Oh that is gold. πŸ˜„

    Reminds me of that gesundheit joke.

    Another tangent flashback: I wish I could recall right now a misheard lyrics bit of my friend but I can't. That one sent me weezin' for minutes. I was blue in the face. It'll come to me later. Probably when I try to sleep.

                    He went on to ask if the stickers would work for a shipment to Mexico. I told him I'm pretty sure they would understand πŸ˜‚

                            @dillyd that seems far more reasonable than the other way around . Still silly but less silly

                                @dillyd Here in Wales road signs must be bilingual (Welsh/English) which gets fun when roads are named in languages that are neither. My favourite is Avenue de Clichy, though I can't tell if Welsh or English is first on the sign...
