A Riddle and an Explanation |

London is a riddle. Paris is an explanation.
–G. K. Chesterson

Paris, a military working dog, and other coalition force members prepare Saturday for a presence patrol in Farah province, Afghanistan. The coalition forces conducting the patrol are deployed to train and mentor Afghan National Security Forces in their area.

As a deeply committed anglophile, I firmly believe that the words ‘London’ and ‘Paris’ should not appear in the same sentence. (Fail; oh bugger)!

Yours Aye.

That was a stretcher. Thanks to ExBootneck for making the connection.

Bootneck, I am with you in regards to London and Paris. Your London is a great city. With tons of history, nice people, and class! Paris, Mehhh.

Next time your over here come and try the City of York, two hours from London in a direct northerly direction.

Its a smaller version of London with more history, and family friendly (very low crime stats).

Aye.

And after spending two years in London, I agree with everyone else and the above comments…Paris; the only thing I remember is my mother getting mugged by two kids (a brother and sister apparently) in front of the hotel we stayed in for a few days…she had both the temerity and the foresight to grab the little nine-year old boy by the scruff of the neck when he tried to steal the wallet inside her purse…and admittedly, the gendarmes were there post haste….it was an amazing thing to participate in and watch….astounding, really….k

EB: In all fairness, that was two sentences. That said, I really enjoyed the foggy two days I spent in London.
Lou: Jack London=London. Paris=Dog.
mark: Paris has its own charm too. Although, I like London better.
EB: York? That must be the old York. I’ve spent a lot of time in York 2.0, the Big Apple.
Kris: Wow! That is a hell of a story. I am glad it worked out for your mom.

Two sentences is just nit picking.

York ‘over here’ was the original apple tree that spat the pip out to be planted ‘over there’…

Aye.

  Aw, you are good sport. And I am a nit-picker. If you look carefully, my 1/8 inch hair is 100% nit-free!
