Going for a holiday together


Street Survey
You are a couple. How did you meet?

MONICA:  We met at a coffee shop. I was going to refill my coffee cup and collided with Henry. The coffee splashed, not Henry or me, but on another of the cafe guests. Henry and I helped the old man we splashed coffee on and we had such a good working relationship and felt almost like a couple.

HENRY: Monica has such beautiful eyes, I immediately fell in love with her and in the following conversation we really found each other.

MONICA: Five minutes later we had agreed on going for a holiday together. And that's it.

When we met? Ten minutes ago at this cafe ...

Sometimes you regret your question

Street Survey
You are a couple. How did you meet?

LINN:  We met 40 years ago at a vegetable market. I worked there as a salesman and Albert delivered goods.

That particular day, Albert and I accidentally were locked in the store when it closed in the evening.

That night I taught Albert all about vegetables and after that, Albert taught me all about love.

Since that night we are a couple and we love to explore different vegetable markets together.

She is a human night owl




Street Survey
Are you a morning person or an evening person?


MELANIE: A very difficult question. I work night shifts and get out of bed 8 PM and go to bed at noon, and in that way I have worked for 4 years.
So I really do not know if I am a morning or night person.
Weekends are difficult, not to get out of my daily rhythm, I must be a night owl, also on weekends.

Please help Pia with her mysterious dream

A mysterious dream, a cartoon by Artmagenta
Pia in the street, still dressed


Street Survey
What is your most common dream?

PIA:  Almost every night I dream that I just like superman throw off my clothes in the middle of the street (I know supeman changed clothes in a phone booth, but I can't find one these days).

I then run frantically around in just my panties, looking for somewhere to hide. But there's nowhere to hide and people are staring frightened at me all the time.

I did ask a shrink what this dream means, but he just smiled mysteriously.

Nina as thin and as normal.
Same girl, different weight
Street Survey
Are you planning to start a diet?

NINA:  A year ago I was thin as a shrimp, and thats in fact what people called me: Shrimp.  I was anorexic and totally unaware that I was so thin. I ate almost nothing because I thought I was too fat.

Now I am normalized - and I don't plan to start a diet to lose weight.

But people still call me Shrimp!
