Blog Guy, I heard a strange rumor about French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
My dentist, who actually knows some French people, told me Sarkozy has a deep-seated phobia of jet planes and won’t go near them. Could this be true?
I hear that a lot. Cripes, I don’t know how these crazy rumors get started.
To disprove this one once and for all, we took Sarkozy to a military base and actually had him touch a jet. Do you see? Are you satisfied now?
I guess so, but what is this other photo doing here?
I’m trying out some new software with my blogging tool which will automatically sort similar photos and put them together.
If it works, I won’t need Lamar any longer.
Well, I guess you can see your fancy new software is far from perfect, right?
Oh, I haven’t even installed it yet. This photo match WAS made by Lamar.

Steady now… dont get too excited… it picks up nerves, you know!
Nicolas, the boy, once grabbed a Barbie doll to rip off the head. He became distracted upon grasping the doll and hasn’t been the same since…
The only comment I can make that won’t have Mr. Spam Filter come to my house personally to wash my mouth out with soap is the Rafale fighter is a nice shiny piece of jet aircraft!
Thanks, Ifly. Mr. Spam Filter came into my office just now and asked me personally to compliment you on your maturity.
Poor pres, this photo will haunt him forever
Hey Nic! Be careful what you touch. Those things can go off on you!
@Onedoor … nice!
Why thank you Mr. B.
Could anyone imagine if K.I.T.T. technology became J.E.T.T. technology though? I think I would be wary of jets then also. Imagine if a J.E.T.T. was flying along one day and decided on a whim the landscape would be much improved if people weren’t walking all over it mucking it up. Sarkozy knows something we don’t and that’s why he is afraid.
hehe…Madonna…
It seems to me that SHE is reaching for a pointy object, as well.
Looks like Sarkozy just can’t get enough of those ample nacelles! (With a nod to Scotty in Star Trek)
Dear old Nicky Tea-cosy, it’s not so much that he enjoys being made to feel a boob, it’s just that he has a bad mammory and has trouble keeping abreast of the issue at hand.
What a cynical bunch we are! I have it on good authority that this particular world leader was simply demonstrating to the Sesame St. crowd that some things are more fun to touch than others.
Lady L may have something there. I did read an article (on another news service that shall go unnamed) that touching makes people healthier. Maybe Sarkozy is just a health nut?
Nosmo, dont think he has a bad mammor.. umm.. memory… I just think he is drawn to them!
MUGS!
Sarabelle: Sweet!!!
Beware, as Woody Allen said “They usually travel in pairs!” Or in Sarkozy’s case, Paris.
Jazz, if you read it on another news service it probably isn’t true.
