At 10:43 this morning, I was on my way to that handyman’s paradise that is Bricorama (no, I am not turning into Mr. Goodwrench; I just needed to buy a small halogen bulb for my desk lamp), and on the Boulevard d’Alsace, this sign caught my attention. It really does appear to say “rodent birds”, an impression reinforced by the (unfortunately toothless) pigeon sitting right underneath it. I couldn’t resist; I inched as close as I thought I could get away with and barely managed to snap today’s photo before the rodent flew off. OK, what the sign actually does say is “Birds, Rodents”, and, you guessed it, we are in front of a pet store. The birds for sale don’t look at all like the one in the picture (think canaries and parakeets), and the rodents are wingless hamsters and rabbits.
