“Fight Against Stupidity And Bureaucracy”
.
I was walking through the house
the other day with my camera
when I spotted the cat lying on a sofa.
“Hi there.” I said. “Whatya doin?”
“Just chilling out here on the sofa,’” she said.
.
“I have a joke for you,” I said.
So I told her a joke.
It must have been a good one,
my how she laughed.
.
Then I asked,
“Mind if I take your photo?”
“Oh no, no way,” she replied.
“I haven’t combed my fur or anything.”

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Well here’s a blog post slightly over 6,000 words. Don’t worry, it won’t take you long to read it.
It’s about the behavior of several heads of state at the Mandela Memorial in South Africa, an event which itself was turned into a bit of a farce.
From sign language interpreters who didn’t know any sign language to politicians not having the sense to realize they were on a world stage and everyone was watching, it was all a bit pathetic really.
But funny too!
.
.
President Obama shares a joke with
Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt.
Michelle Obama obviously didn’t get it – or did she?
.
.
.
Now a bit of touchy-feely from Obama
who is obviously enjoying the encounter.
The look on Michelle’s face seems to indicate that
she is not too happy with the way things are going.
.
.
.
Obama and Helle take a little ‘selfie’ photo with her cell phone,
as British Prime Minister David Cameron tries to form a threesome.
Michelle, looking even more pissed off glowers into the distance.
(Wonder if the NSA is bugging that phone?)
.
.
.
The happy couple get closer and share another joke.
Michelle gets farther away,
and she still ain’t laughing!
.
.
.
Obama gets up to say a few words,
assisted by the sign language interpreter for the deaf.
Yes, that’s him,
the interpreter who didn’t know any sign language at all.
You couldn’t make this up!
.
.
.
When he come back to sit down again,
Obama finds that the seating arrangements have changed.
Michelle is now between him and the lovely piece of Danish.
Suspecting he may have blundered Obama takes Michelle’s hand and kisses it.
Michelle gazes off into the distance.
She has a “it ain’t gonna be that easy to fix this one, buster” expression on her face.
.
.
.
With his new little friend isolated
Obama studiously looks in the other direction.
Michelle still ain’t laughing!

A few weeks ago we had a short series of what were called ‘perfectly timed photos’ because in most cases the shutter was clicked at just the right moment to achieve the perfect result.
This lot are similar in so far as the end result is effective and hopefully amusing, although they are a bit more contrived or ‘set up’ to achieve the required result.
Have a look and see what you think.

Welcome to another weekend and the final selection of perfectly timed photographs.
Since this is the last in this short series I am going to let the animals have the final word, or the final look might be more accurate.
Below is a mixture of domesticated and wild animals all caught on camera at exactly the right moment in time to produce fascinating and sometimes very funny pictures.
Hope you enjoy this final (for the moment) selection.

More photos for this weekend.
Nothing beats a perfectly taken photo except perhaps a perfectly timed photo.
You will find a selection of the latter variety below.
Enjoy.

Welcome to part two of this short series of perfectly timed photos, where the click of the camera caught that perfect moment in time.
I would hazard a guess that most of these were taken accidentally, but however they were done the results are good.
Enjoy today’s selection

From time to time I publish photographs on this blog. That isn’t it’s primary purpose, but sometimes they fall into the unusual or exceptional categories that contrast with posts about the more intellectually challenged members of our society.
See what you make of this selection.
Enjoy.

I feel a bit of a Sunday Sermon coming on, if I get the time to write it.
But for today something a lot lighter and hopefully amusing.
It’s a second helping of our animal friends. They are fun.
Enjoy.
