But remember, no matter how bad things get, wherever you may be, whatever is going on in your world : TOUT VA BIEN. . . All is Well, here on planet Earth, this best of all possible worlds. I'm sure it was Voltaire's ghost who plastered these posters all over Paris for a while. . . and then disappeared again back to his grave. (and I like the comment about television too, reminds me of that line from "Working Class Hero" by J. Lennon : "They keep you doped with religion and sex and TV, and you think you're so clever and classless and free. . .")

Even a broken toilet in Paris has a sense of class and style...!
Steve, you are a man after my own heart; it takes a special eye like yours to see class and style in a broken, fractured, shattered toilet... but imho this toilet exhibits a rare degree of nobility even in its reduced condition here. Ahh, Paris, the City of Light, the City of Noble Broken Toilets !
Wait a minute - I thought a few posts ago people were complaining about the lack of toilets in Paris. On a more somber note - It's hard to pick a Lennon favorite but that is right up there. My wife and I were somewhere in that crowd scene after his shooting-one of the saddest of days.
Loved the video. Pretty much sums it up. My favorite song was "Let It Be," and I taught it to my English students at Ecole Berlitz when I was living in France (Versailles).
btw, I didn't know you were allowed to pack in Paris!
@Steve : Sacré steevie !...
Tout va bien !... sex, net and rock n'roll !...
I always smile when I see an abandoned toilet! When I was a teenager my grandmother was furious with my grandfather for not removing a toilet from behind the back porch. He was working on replacing an entire bathroom and just left it sitting. She poured potting soil in it and grew petunias in it that summer. They grew to be the biggest we had ever seen. My poppaw made sure it was gone in the fall after all the jokes had run their course and he didn't leave any kind of container around again!
