Ah! Got it. I did not pan around, just saw the street at first. I think they knew the Google Car was coming.

Yes, it's funny. When you look around the whole shot, you can see in the distance that there are hills. They are nowhere near the ocean at all! I'm glad you can see the unusual scene now. Crazy kids!

Javed · 02-10-2010, 07:05 AM

Wow, I just noticed something else in the image! At first I saw them sitting down. If you go forward up the street a little and then turn back towards them then they are in a different position (I won't spoil it by saying what the are doing)!

ShortNCuddlyAm · 02-10-2010, 07:13 AM

When you see them in the road, it's definitely worth clicking forward a few times!

Javed · 02-10-2010, 07:17 AM

Am,
Yes, and if you look at some of the windows there is a woman staring at them in amazement.

dragonbone · 02-10-2010, 08:20 PM

hehehe.... Brilliant! I finally got it after many attempts since the first post! I didn't know how to turn back....

Man goes to see a doctor.
Doctor says "Sir, you really need to stop masturbating".
"Why?"
"Because I can't examine you if you don't!"

Back in the day, before the PC craze, we told "Polish jokes" (in America).

I was told (and I have no other reason to believe otherwise) that the French told "Belgian joke". I am sure that the Belgians told "Luxembourgoise jokes".

Anyway, one that I had never heard, that I fell in love with was about the Belgian who went to France to seek his fortune...

He look all over for work and no one would take him, they all through Belgians were fools.

Down and out, he tried one more time to get a job at a garage. The garage owner took pity on him and agreed to take him on.

The owner asked him to do an engine tune-up, but the Belgian said he couldn't sing.

The owner asked him to do a brake job, and the Belgian broke everything on the car.

Finally, in desperation, the owner put him working with one of him men on the simplest job they could find -- he would do car inspections. After three attempts ("yep, that looks like a car to me")

, he was demoted to car inspection assistant.

"First, we're going to check the lights."

"How do we do that."

"Simple. I'll call out which light I'm going to turn on, you tell me if they work."

They walked around the car and the inspector pointed all of the lights out. "These are the head lights, high beam, low beam. These are the parking lights, front and back. Here are the brake lights, and these are the turn signals."

The inspector turned on the head lights and called out "Headlights!"

The Belgian says "OK, they work."

"Parking lights!"

"OH, ok... yes, yes, yes, yes. They work!"

"Brake lights!"

"Yes. They work!"

"Left turn signal!"

"Ok, it works. No, wait, it's out. Oh, it's working. No wait, it's off again..."

:-D

Actually, the Luxembourgers tell jokes about the Belgians.

Like this one:
A Belgian truck (=lorry) driver is stuck right in front of an overpass ... his trailer carrying an extra high load won't fit under the bridge, yet all that's missing is a centimeter.
A Luxembourger comes along and tells him to let the air out of his tires.
The Belgian replies "But it's at the top it won't fit, not at the bottom!"

I actully read it in ancient greek, and it was a "Cuman" joke more than 2000 years old...

It was about a Cuman who thought his slave was stealing wine from amphoras, and his greek friend told him to check if the slave made an hole in the bottom (amphoars were suspended at the ceiling) closing it with wax after the drinking...
The Cuman pointed out that the wine was missing from the top of the amphora, not the bottom....

Dating, IIRC, around 5th century B.C., it's really the oldest joke I know....

Ancient jokes are fascinating.... do you remember the source document for this one?

Sorry to throw a stone in the pool, but that joke will not work if you use the nationalities you've used. They speak French and there's no "double entendre" for the words that make this joke funny.

It absolutely has to be of a foreigner in an English speaking country.
