Belinda, that's a wolf grin - not a smile!


Street Survey
Do you like to mingle with strangers?

BELINDA:  Yeah, that's my hobby, I just love it.
Even if I don't know anyone, I walk into the room with a smile like I know at least half the people there.

And like a hunting wolf I throw myself into every discussion, control it and make myself heard.

When I think about it, I don't remember ever being invited to a party where I know people...

Fiddling while Rome burns

Fiddling while Rome burns is a caricature by artist and illustrator Artmagenta
Claudia is playing the lyre for Nero
It's said that roman emperor Nero played the fiddle (violin) while Rome burned during the great fire in AD 64.

Firstly, there was no such instrument as the fiddle (violin) in first century Rome. If Nero played anything during the Rome fire, it was probably the lyre.

Secondly, Nero problably didn't play by himself. He had beautiful lady slaves that played for him.

Benny is trying to please his teacher
Street Survey is a caricature by artist and illustrator Artmagenta
Do you like your teacher?

BENNY:   Yes, I like my teacher, but she does not like me!

I've tried the apple trick, but she said that was too cheap.

Maybe I went too far that time when I placed a farting machine under her chair. Everyone in the class thought it was funny, but not the teacher.

She's probably no sense of humor.

I am a fisherman and one day at sea I discovered a wrecked surfers. It was Jessica who floated out to sea on a broken surfboard. I saved her from drowning.

It turned out that Jessica is a nurse and as thanks for saving her life, she now takes care of me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Betina and Caroline
are confused 


Street Survey
What is the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up?

BETINA:  I'm an early bird and I live very close to a golf course, in fact our house is ON the golf course, so naturally the first thing I do every morning is go and play golf.

I mostly play with my neighbour and friend Caroline.

The other day, on the 15th hole, we suddenly found a golf ball on the fairway. The first golf ball we saw that morning. We thought about playing it, but finally decided not to. Hitting golf balls is not our game.

Golf certainly is about being social.
