My humor image was fairly boring and didn't score great. This is what I was thinking, but couldn't do because of the rules!

That's funny because I said in my comment that a sign saying Eet mor chicken would be better. Too bad you couldn't submit this one. I think it's funny. Just out of curiosity is that an ad campaign in the states? I'm clueless I don't get to see many commercials over here.

Thanks, Jimmy!
Yes, there is a fast food chain here called Chick-Filet and they sell all chicken products. They have had a very successful ad campaign the last couple of years encouraging people to eat more chicken, to the benefit of the cows! Very clever and my image doesn't do the professional ads justice!

I've eaten at chick-filet. I've been stationed overseas for the last 5 years so you can probably imagine all of the stuff I miss out on over here.

I know exactly what you mean! I was on submarines in the Navy for 12 years. We'd go out to sea for a 6 or 7 month Med run. When we returned, I had no idea what anyone was talking about with regard to movies, commercials, songs, tv shows, etc. It was like being in a culture vacuum for six months! Actually, not true... I saw amazing things in Italy, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, etc, etc etc. Let's say it was an American culture vacuum.
Where are you in Italy? I went to Rome, Sorrento, Pompeii, Naples, and lots of time on Palau (Sardinia). I shot rolls and rolls and rolls of film. I wish digital cameras were around then (83-95)!

I saw this photo and immediately wished I would have submitted it. I think it's a riot!

I'm stationed 5 minutes from Pisa. The funny thing is I still haven't submitted a Leaning Tower shot for a challenge. That's a cliche shot for tourists so maybe I'll do that this week instead of a water drop. I agree that it is an American Cultural Vaccum over here but like you said there's so much to see and do here to make up for it.
