Martin,


I recently noticed an interesting thing.

On my this thread whereas most viewers/comments only spoke about the figs or the fig rekated items, you made a comment about  " Father "  Damien's feet.


Which I thought was just a bit odd..

I met the man, spent time with the man, hired the man to help with my fig " issues " and did not notice his feet condition.
( guess I had more pressing things on my mind; ( namely a crafty old Italian woman ) 

After you posted that comment, out of mere curiosity I took a look to see what you were referring to.

The real interesting thing is casually, most people including myself would not move their eyes down the photo to look at " Father " Damien's feet.  
He is such a interestingly dressed fellow, that his attire grabs most if not all of one's attention..

You, on the other hand... had to use a Photo Management program ( to blow up the photo to get a really good look at his feet.

Thought that was odd, but I tried to put that creepy little nugget of feet information out of my mind.

Which brings us to this post.


Once again the main or not complete focus of most viewers is the roof, all the water that pooled up there, what type of figs am I growing, how do they look,..etc.
( all factors uncommon enough to inform/interest most viewers )

But with you, not only did you notice - like an Afghanistan Blood Hound I might add -   the only photo  - one tiny thumbnail actually -  not " Hot Linked " you must have really perked up when you read the file name  " Wet feet " that you went out of your way to not only click on it, but once again use a photo management program to enlarge the photo enough to get a really close look at my feet to see the length of my toenails
( they were underneath a foot and a half of water after all.)

Now, don't take this the wrong way. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with your possible infatuation with  feet or toes.

To each his or her own, that's my motto.

Some people have a strange obsession with figs, some with feet, and some both...

Who am I to judge?

In that light, I offer you a tasty picture, one that I am certain you ( and only you ) will deeply appreciate.

Enjoy.


Warning:  extremely graphic photo, unless you're Martin, or like to look at feet, DO NOT click on the photo.




P.S. Martin, you know I love you and am just having fun right?

Now that is just disgusting. Both pictures.

Hi Nick,
 no i have no infatuation with feet.
Also no i used no program other to observe those pictures you mention.

Your picture showing Father Damien one could easily see his feet in those sandals and the condition of them .
Ive seen those type of feet on many many a homeless man and woman.

Your other picture you mention with feet toe nails is also easily seen.
After all its just feet -water and a hose reel.

My job before retirement taught me to be observant i suppose . 
I worked as a train conductor, flagman. motorman, switchman in Chicago on most of the lines .
I had guns and other various weapons in my face, spat at , egged, etc.
Iv'e seen ,experienced and talked with many different walks of life in almost 30 years at that job so with that in mind even looking at a picture i observe it . 
One quick experience that i remember like yesterday from back in early 80s was when i was flaggin in the subway was sharing a few peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches on Christmas Eve sitting on a cold cement subway floor with a homeless man that had absolutely nothing but asked me in a unusual kind way if i had anything to eat.
We ate and afterwards i listened to him talk as we smoked and then we parted ways.
Everyone has a story.





Tell me how a search of  "container tree pictures" landed me here, but here I am.  Hilarious read. 
Old Ghost, I hope the curse was lifted and your trees are producing lots of normal fruit.

Cheryl,

Thanks for an interesting read resulting from your "bump" of this thread... Search engines are an amazing thing but at the end of the day only reflect the fuzzy logic that was applied to the engine's search algo by the programmer responsible... I have seen some very strange results coming back from a search of a very simply inquiry... Programmer's do have a sense of humor... at times... and at times, it can be out of sync with the world at large...
