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.

Shrimp stopped dieting

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!

Eating dogs is not a good habit

Victoria fears dogs


Street Survey
If you had to be a breed of dog, what type of dog would you be?

VICTORIA: When I was a little girl, I was bitten by a dog. Since then, I fear dogs and I hate dogs.

So believe me or not, but I would like to be a big, angry saliva dripping dog that attacks all other dogs and eat them.

Pooh, what a relieving thought.

Some people are busy feeding others

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

AMANDA: The very first thing I do when I wake up is to feed my aquarium fish, then I give the cat some food, go out and feed the chickens, give Fido, the dog, some food, then I wake my husband and give him breakfast, then the customers care coming to my cafe and I give them food.

So this is the first thing I do every morning and then every hour the rest of the day: I feed people (and animals)


The thieves left no trace

Her first task every morning


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

EWA:  Every morning when I wake up I discover to my horror that the refrigerator is empty! I can not understand how the thieves get into my apartment, they leave no trace, just an empty refrigerator.

So the first I have to do every morning is to go down in the grocery store and buy food. Fill my fridge ...


It's not about dog training it must be a dog owner's training

Dog training is about training the owner


Street Survey
How do you train your pet?

JEAN:  Me and my husband just got ourself a puppie. The problem with the puppy is that it does not understand what we say. The puppy is eager to fulfill our desires but it can not understand what they are.
Whatever I say it just sits there looking like a questionmark.

I think we have to put our little darling in a dog training school.

A revamped Superman is going to save the world

Superman, is a cartoon by Artmagenta
Maybe Superwoman is a good choice


Street Survey
If you could be any superhero, who would it be?

JILL: That’s a question! I’m not fond of superheroes. I think they dress ridiculously. Silly tights and face masks that would not even be good for masquerades. And then that Spiderman, a hybrid of man and spider. Spiders are dreadful animals that should be eradicated from the earth.

 Well, maybe Superman would do. He has no face mask but a cape and boots that I could redesign. I like capes. Yes, I would be a revamped Superman.

The more I think of it, the more I like the idea of being Superman. With all those powers I could change the world! I will get rid of all dictators! I will take care of the Global Warming! I will make the poor rich! I will....!!!

That man is grumpy as a bulldog

George is bully


Street Survey
If you had to be a breed of dog, what type of dog would you be?

GEORGE: My wife always says to me that I am grumpy like a bulldog and my staff say that I am bully.

And when I look in the mirror I see a bulldog.

The answer is simple. You have to adapt to reality. I AM a bulldog (even if I feel more like a bull).

Every time I called him Elvis, he peed

Karen and Elton


Street Survey
What would be the name of your next pet? 

 KAREN:  It is unfair to the animals just to give them a name. We must respect the animals and check their reactions to different names.

Once I had a cat that in my eyes was an Elvis. But every time I called him Elvis he peed. I renamed him to Elton and each time I said Elton he purred.
