Saturday Morning Delights

(absolutely delightful... until someone tried to ruin it.)

Great illustration found on the business card
 Enjoying a lovely cappuccino and mini-amandine with a lovely pal, while sitting at a lovely sidewalk terrace - chairs set-up Parisian style. A handsome man sits two tables to the left. He is enjoying a captivating news article.  My pal and I are soaking up the sun. Pleasant start to any day, right?

No doubt! That is until a less handsome man sitting one table to the left, drops his croissant on the ground...  In less then 56 seconds, he picks it up, shakes it off, AND... eats it!

I can only imagine the microscopic horrors that latched onto the bottom of his croissant. Anything ranging from pee residue of dogs that had sat at that very spot only moments before... to the gunk from someone's shoe. Not to mention the bits of pebbles that you expect to find on sidewalks.  It is called the 2 second rule, dear sir, NOT the 2 minute rule. Regardless,  I believe there are limits to the 2 second rule.

Dude, my pal and I would kindly pool together our money and give you two dollars to purchase a new croissant. Just ask.

What can I say, I guess he is passionate about the croissants. You can imagine how wonderful they are! The name of the spot: Boulangerie de Froment et de Sève (2355 rue Beaubien E. Montreal).
