Respecter Votre Ville

Most of these frequent windshield fliers have a small notice: Respecter votre ville, ne rien jeter sur la voie publique. Essentially, "Respect your city; don't litter."

But...?

Musical Moments

For the bambini.

Screwdriver

A long time ago when a French exchange student was staying with my family, I asked him how to say "screwdriver" in French. His brow furrowed, he reflected for a moment, then replied, "auto-école."

Actually, un tournevis is a screwdriver. Auto-école is driving school. But I like the possibilities.

Do you think..

...that they could even help computer-challenged moi learn how to use my ordi? Nice -- in the privacy of my own home!

Work at Home!

A great deal of frost on the Paris windshields this morning encrusting these fliers. Brrr. On freezing mornings like this I'm glad to be working from home.

Decorate yourself for Christmas... get in shape?

Prestige du 7eme

These fliers have made a comeback this month.

The imperative

When I taught French, my students always asked "When would you use the impératif of être [to be]? Sois, soyons soyez... Voilà!

A Wrinkle this Time

It was pouring when I grabbed this one, so it wrinkled pretty badly in my pocket.

Ahhhh

Stressed out by the holidaze? Here's one way to relax. Detente.

Whaddaya waitin' for, Christmas?

"Are you waiting for Christmas to fit into your little black dress?"

Sing in the Shower

or the living room.

Awake your hidden talents

This is (fresh) off the windshield this morning.
