If you step onto on the lawn at Luxembourg Gardens in Paris and are caught, the Gendarmerie will bellow at you there too. "Keep of the grass!" or "Gardez l'herbe !" That happened to a friend of mine. He and his partner were going to sit on the grass to eat their lunch. He went there about two months before I went there, so he warned me about that one.
These days, keep off the grass has a whole new meaning. lol
They don't have people watching to make sure that these artifacts aren't being touched?
I remember quite vividly, being yelled at by a docent in the Palace of Versaille for touching a replica of a marble statue that wasn't roped off. I don't think it was marble, but I didn't get the chance to really examine it either before the storm of French began. Funny how inflection and volume supersedes the language barrier. lol
The classic description is waking up after the night before and discovering a dent in your car, but it can be applied to any cost that is incurred as a result of drinking.
My neighbor was parting with us one night. The next day he told us “that bitch (his girlfriend) locked me out so I kicked the door in”. Later his girlfriend said “I didn’t lock him out he used the back door, (left it unlocked) and forgot and then he kicked in the front door”. THAT is a whiskey dent.
Ha!! You are a funny man. br br The classic desc... (show quote)
That last bit is both funny and sad. Not even when I was young and stupid did I ever get that faced and now I drink things that would be a travesty to do that with.
