Photo Hunt — "funny"


Venetians have a great sense of humor.  
This is the statue of  Niccolo Tommaseo,
 in Campo Santo Stefano.  The locals 
like to refer to him as "Cagalibri," the
book pooper (gee, I wonder why).

  2. Tsk, tsk re the irreverent nickname. But the great man sure doesn't seem to be someone who looks after his books all that well, does he? ;D

  3. I just read a quote by Johnny Mercer, on a British musical: “I could eat alphabet soup and shit better lyrics.”
