Back in the 80s or 90s there were news stories about a young British tourist in Tibet held at gunpoint while a Chinese soldier tried to pull off her Sergeant Bilko T-shirt.
She crossed her arms and somehow managed to convince them that Phil Silvers was not the Dalai Lama, whose image was (and still is) banned in Tibet, under Chinese communist control.
I don’t think they arrested her, but they escorted her back to her hotel, and she was barred from wearing Bilko’s picture again while there, because in spite of the facts, he still looked too much like the Dalai Lama.
I don’t think Phil Silvers looks anything like the Dalai Lama.
But just as some westerners rudely say Asians are hard to tell apart, perhaps some Asians see a similarity in American faces, and to them, anybody with a round face, dark hair and glasses can be said to look like the Dalai Lama.
I only know it happened, and I wasnt there to get the details.
Thanks, Dennis but it’s better to use past tense—I’m pretty much out of ideas.
this series has gone on much longer than I thought. I only had about 7 or 8 solid ideas
when it all started in early April and with a little help from Susan and Stel we managed
to surprisingly last until late August.
Most raptors, the female is larger. She has the egg making hardware. He is better off without the mass, considering he is going to be doing most of the hunting. At least early on.

Is this the Basset Mind-meld?
NOSE!

Sounds like faulty installation to me…
Wow, that’s not at all offensive! They could run that ad today and it would sell just as well.
Right.
Cos we weak little women of every era appreciate having a big strong man like him to guide us, and tell us everything we do wrong.
…
After all, it’s not his shaving over the bathroom sink, and trimming his beard there, that makes the drain clog…
It’s our failure to put corrosive chemicals in it every week.
And when the pipes give up from the corrosion, why, that’ll be our fault too!
We just love taking the blame… It makes us feel… needed.
…
I’m going to run right to almost any store and buy three cans of Drāno!
As a special treat, I’ll get an extra can to put in his coffee!
Wow!
…
Wow!
DZIOB!

Indeed it does. I can certify that it does not go up.

Oh, GOOD ONE.

I don’t see it. But then, I have at least a passing familiarity with all three.
You have to ask those Chinese soldiers.

Foggetaboutit!
Found it. It took me a minute to realize that all the rest of the signs say “SOLD.”
Really, I’m not sure why we want to find the only one that’s still for sale.
It’s obviously the worst house, or possibly only the most over-priced, in a town that’s been so horrible everybody wants to sell and move away.
Now it’s going to be full of people who just moved there. No local customs, nobody who knows where anything is, and all new kids in the schools.
And no one who knows what terrible things or event made all the previous residents move.
And how are all the new owners going to move in with no access other than some narrow goat tracks for roads? Assuming any sell of course.
Hi Craig! Welcome back!
The streets are a problemn indeed!
Maybe only pedestrians and bicycles allowed?
But as for the home sales… it looks like they ALL sold but for one.
aka daleandkristen.
Thanks….with that knowledge I found it immediately.
Yeah… . And the resolution is so bad, you can’t read “for sale”, either.
But I can only see one sign that appears to have two words on it….
I know it’s artistic license, but why are there garages when it looks like every lane in front of the houses are no wider than a sidewalk?
Can you imagine what it would take to move in?
As I said to Craig Holmes, above… maybe only bicycles and pedestrians allowed!
Then again, these puzzles require all sorts of suspension of disbelief.
You are getting very creative with your nearsighted lovers. Nice song selections also.

I’m working on it, I’m working on it!
You didn’t like the last ones I sent.
Maybe it’s time for the rest of us to come up with ideas.

Ms. Eagle loves the moves this guy can make.
No other eagle she’s ever seen has been so athletic.
And the crowd agrees!
Even humans cheer in admiration and wonder.
She must have him!
…
As for the sawfish…
She knows raw power when she sees it, even if he’s still at the moment.
She’s sure his performance will be electrifying.
(She doesn’t know that underwater, it will also be rather shocking.)
BTW…. In case anybody is questioning…I had to look it up myself.
Female bald eagles have white heads, and look exactly like males except they’re actually larger.
And when they’re guarding their eggs or chicks, more aggressive.
Most raptors, the female is larger. She has the egg making hardware. He is better off without the mass, considering he is going to be doing most of the hunting. At least early on.
eagles and sawfish… what will they think of next?
i’ve enjoyed this series!
The bottom one found all the female saw sharks too chubby, but this one is trimmer.
Boo!
I mean good one.
Pretty sharp
I never saw it.
