            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.

                                        @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...
