| EVEN THE BOOK SHE'S READING COLOR-COORDINATES. |
Patricia is not shy by any stretch of the imagination — check out the printing on her tote bag in the picture above. She told San Geraldo she notices him regularly at the cafe and wonders why he sits with a dish towel on his head. (And here I thought it was because of his good looks.) San Geraldo explained that he sometimes wears a dish towel to protect his head from the sun, but mostly he wears the dish towel to keep away those annoying flies.

| SAN GERALDO SETTING THE FASHION WORLD ABUZZ. (CLICK ANY IMAGE FOR AN ELECTRIFYING EXPERIENCE.) |
This morning, Patricia dropped by the cafe with a gift for San Geraldo — an electrified tennis racket to zap flies and mosquitos. Apparently, dish towels — like square-check fabrics and skyscraper heels — are so last year.

| ANXIOUS TO START ZAPPING. |

| MAYBE THE LAST FLY (FAR LEFT) DUDO WILL SEE. WHEN THAT ELECTRIFIED ZAPPER IS UNLEASHED, BOTH CATS WILL PROBABLY GO INTO HIDING |

DeleteSpeaking Castilian Spanish is quite interesting. Here, we're supposed to lisp.
Mitchell, Your new friend is a fantastic lady. But next time when I going to visit Spain I will buy a towel to cover my head . I believe I will get an extra gift. What is your opinion/
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteGreat idea! The dish towels from IKEA are much cheaper, I'm sure, than the bug zapper.
What a magnetic personality San Geraldo has! They are coming from all directions to meet him!!
ReplyDeleteOh, those zappers really do work, Mitchell. You may wish to purchase a helmet unless you are a good 'ducker'!
A friend had one and would whirl that thing in every direction! And every time it gets an insect, you hear a zap/sizzle.
Jim:
DeleteI almost captioned the photo of Jerry, "ZAP, SIZZLE"! Oh, someone protect me!
A fellow must have everything if he receives an electrified fly swatter as a gift.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteThat's what my mother said when Jerry's cousin gave him a carved wooden doorstop for his 50th birthday.
Looks like Dudo and the Fly are both playing dead!
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteDudo was trying to out-smart, out-subtle, and out-maneuver the fly. The fly won.
Dearest Dudo and Moose,
ReplyDeleteHave you heard the term collateral damage? Stay alert and vigilant.
Cheers.
Andrew:
DeleteI DO worry. San Geraldo has swatted at flies and mosquitos parked on me. He has left hand prints... and missed the insects.
I detest flies. They aren't just insects but pestilence on legs.
ReplyDeleteI will postpone the electric fly swatter for the mini-uzzi for bugs.
Spo:
DeleteWe had neighbors in Connecticut with one of those industrial-sized mosquito zappers on their back porch. Zap/Sizzle was all you heard until they turned it off at bedtime. I think all it ever killed were moths.
I noticed the French name for the raquette: tapette electronique. Une tapette is indeed a fly-swatter. But it's also a slang word for a guy who's a little light in the loafers. Ahem.
ReplyDeleteOk. I can't spell. Tapette électrique. There.
DeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteThe Cafe we go to downstairs is French-owned, so they were very pleased to see the French name first. I LOVE the "light-in-the-loafers" translation. Thanks!!!
Are there any possibilities for bring that fly-thingy into certain bedroom 'games' - those with a slight S/M bent, you know? (Nudge nudge wink wink?) Can't be blamed for wonderin'. Let us know when you've got it incorporated into your routine. Photos during operation would be especially appreciated.
ReplyDeleteRaybeard:
DeleteI promise to keep you posted... (But don't hold your breath for photos.)
I second Jim's comment, yes our friend was very adept and ending those flies miserable lives.
ReplyDeleteJOY and HAPPINESS on the MED!
Sound vaguely like a novel!
Ron:
DeleteOf course we haven't seen one fly today. Where are they when you need them?!?
