PC (TicTac) : Octopus stamps & Pet poem "U" fish

WOW Original Octopus Banana stamps from the Quindi Islands.  My travel agent is still trying to find me flights to there.  It seems they do not have an airport, train station, or even a bus stop.

Thank you PC (TicTac), U fish me a good one

haha, i can imagine....

all is los..t, for me in German. i have put myself in so many embarassing situations..i can only laugh about it together with them now! once i asked for a "tote"(dead) at the butcher's instead of a "Tüte" (bag) sending him into panic trying to explain me that everything he sells is dead but fresh...lol..it took me a little Marcel Marceau act to clear myself from scorn..we still jokes about it, though.

Loose?  Was ist los?  Das der Hund ist los!

   This is the only German joke I know, but I made my land lady laugh.

i can send you some loose ones in the next sending in case you'd like to keep the booklet..you never know they might be valuable, one day you might get an offer from Christie's...:-))

Did his sketches include a picture of the post office?  I'm going to have to find someway of using them!

.. not sure where i've read it..discovered by Adalberto Quindi....i think a German italian-born cartographer who according to legend, died locked-up in some psychiatric ward after showing his sketches of the islands fauna...
