Funny / weird / strange pictures * as from November 2017

no- I couldn't see the picture yesterday- I can today. I didn't mean I didn't unsterstand

 

Sometimes linked pics work for some viewers but not others. So when you noted it, I just changed it to an uploaded file.

Real photo - Maho Beach is a beach on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, in the territory of Sint Maarten.

It is famous for being adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport, and is a popular site for tourists,

who visit the beach to watch aircraft on final approach to landing at the nearby airport. ​

I have to admit that I think these are funny as all get out.

 

I thought I recognized it. And no, not from 1910. I may be old, just not that old. Though, sometimes I feel that way!

 

If memory serves me correctly, there is an island that does span both sides of the border. The guide said that the owners have to pay taxes to both countries. There was even a white painted line demarking the actual border. That eas years ago, I may have become a little senile by now. Who am I again?
