We are delighted that John of John’s Space is our guest host this week for LAPC #196. Not surprisingly, for those of you who follow his blog, he has chosen the topic of “Humor.” He’s right. ‘We must keep our sense of humor; sometimes it’s all we have left.’
This street artist in Florence has a sense of humor. His/her pollution detector gave me a big laugh.
On a walk in Portsmouth, New Hampshire around Halloween, I spotted the last remains of the Wicked Witch of the East on this front lawn. Thankfully, I didn’t see her evil sister–the Wicked Witch of the West.
This fire hydrant with a happy and sad spigot comes from New York City. I saw it and I had to smile.
Love can be strange and inexplicable….don’t you think? This odd couple was holding hands on the street in Florence.
On a walk in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, I discovered the first sign in the middle of the pandemic. It’s laughably true. Who else but Stephen King could have imagined the strange events that unfolded that year? And who else could make it into a movie except Quentin Tarantino?
My final image comes from a friendly neighborhood park in Santa Croce, Florence where the dog run is named after the dog/actor (cane attore) Rin Tin Tin. How perfect is that?
We hope you join us this week and share your laughter with us. Be sure to stop by John’s site for a few laughs and link to his post here. We all need to laugh especially now when world events are often grim. The happiness we share reminds us not to give up hope in each other and the future. That would be a great tragedy.
Once again, a special thanks to Anne for her Colorful Expressions challenge last week. Your posts were a wonderful “riot” of color and a visual feast!
We’ll be back next Saturday at noon when Tina hosts the next challenge. Until then, have a safe and inspiring week!

Hilarious!😀😀
Love the smoke detector.
Enjoyed Pattimoed.
Thank you .
I’m delighted, Philo! You made me smile, too!
I love that 2020 sign. It’s hard to argue with that viewpoint. 🙂
I know exactly what you mean!
What fun discoveries!
They are fun, aren’t they? I hope they made you smile. 😀
Your first photo is cool, especially since I’ve had a horrible bloody nose today. Wonderful post Patti. 😀
Ohh….sorry about that, Cee. I hope you’re all better now. And yes, the red nose is funny, isn’t it? Take care.
I’m all better now. Thanks. That photo just fit my day perfectly 😀
I’m glad it gave you a smile when you needed one.
I really enjoyed the humour of your post Patti, especially the last remains of the Wicked Witch of the East !
Hi, Aletta. Yes, that poor sister-witch. What a sad ending! 😀😀. Thanks for your kind words, too.
You’re welcome
A truly funny post Patti! I loved the 2020 sign and the fire hydrant.
I’m smiling now, Anne! Thanks! I love coming across these funny things. Keep smiling. 😀
Wonderful Patti! Loved the happy/sad hydrant and the loving wall circles especially. Both made me smile broadly!
Hi, Tina. I’m delighted they brought you a big smile. 😀😀😀. That’s what I was hoping for!
Oh these are so much fun 😂
Hi, Karina. Thanks! I’m delighted you enjoyed them. Smile!
🙂
YES … as humorous as can be. GREAt selections, Patti. I love them all
but the 1st with the nose is a fav.
Izzy 😎
Hi, Izzy. I laughed out loud when I saw the nose on the street! Glad you enjoyed it too. 😀😀
Thanks for bringing a bit a fun to my afternoon. Holding hands out of 2 vents! Creative. I also like the 2020 book/movie photo. Not much thinking would be needed to make this movie. Not sure if it would be a block buster, though.
Hi, Marlene. Isn’t that 2020 sign so tragically funny? I agree. It might not be a block buster now…but in a few decades? Definitely.
Ding dong, the witch is dead, Which old witch? The wicked witch…. sing along, Patti! Love it.
Hi, Jo. I’m singing with you! 😀😀.
You have quite a collection of funnies, Patti!
Hi, Miriam. 😀😀. I hope they made you smile. I hope all’s well, too.
They pit a big smile on my face, Patti! I’m doing well and we’re leaving in a week to see the grandkids for Mother’s Day weekend. 🙂 🙂
Happy Mother’s Day!
A wonderful collection Patti 🙂
Glad you like it, Brian! We all need a smile, don’t we??
Love you humor series, Patti! Holding hands is so cute, the first is my fav. 🙂
Hi, Amy. 😀😀😀. I laughed out loud when I saw the nose! Glad you enjoyed them.
Such great humor Patti. That wicked witch !! 😄😄
Isn’t she great, Anne? I loved it!
HA! (I’m saying that a lot this week.) GREAT selections. The nose knows! Soooo right about King and Tarantino. 🥴 Rin Tin Tin was one of my favorite shows as a kid. Different than Lassie. Don’t forget King, the Malamute?, of Sgt. Preston of the Royal Mounties. “Well King, looks like this case is closed.” Great post.
Thanks so much, John. You were so right to choose this theme. Great idea. And yes, King and Tarantino…I love it. And Rin Tin Tin got a big smile from me, too. 😀😀
My favorite is the odd couple holding hands!! ❤
Yes! I love that one.
Great photos. I especially laughed at the pollution detector. 🤣
👍 Wonderful! Glad that it made you laugh!!
I have no sense of humor!
Nooooo!!!
Great spots Patti! I especially like the two Florence street art finds 😀
Thanks, Sarah. I laughed when I saw the “nose” and the grates holding hands. I found one right after the other. How lucky! I hope all’s well with you.
Wonderful post, Patti! Loved the lovers and all – and who can say anything but “spot on” about King and Tarantino?
Hi, AC. Yes…that sign made me smile for weeks! I’m glad it gave you a smile, too. 😀😀
🙂
I enjoyed your choices. Loved the pollution solution, and the hand holders. My heart with the one in Portsmouth…. Hope you are/have been enjoying your travel.
Hi, Donna. I’m delighted you enjoyed them! Thanks so much for your wishes. We are having a wonderful time. Just what we hoped and needed! Take care, too. Enjoy the week.
I saw the witch legs and thought that was funny until I came to the 2020 sign!! Love it
I laughed every time I saw that sign. It was out for weeks! I love it, too!
great finds, Patti 👍👍
Ha-ha, love the witches legs 🤣
Aren’t they great?? A wonderful Halloween idea.
