Swiss Orthopaedic Problems

9/29/2007, Canon IXUS950 IS — On a lighter note than the Red Cross, I noticed something bizarre while walking through Geneva.  First was the statue, perhaps commemorating the patron saint of scoliosis? (Holy-Osis?).  And then the unfortunate gentleman who appeared to be an elder of the same sect, or perhaps the living incarnation of the saint himself?

Perhaps it’s something in the fondue that causes this? Far be it from me to take Schadenfreude, pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others (that’s more of a German thing, I believe, which is why actually needed a word for it.)  But I did find this duo amusing.  And the water fountain in the background behind the old man brought a smile.  Yes, I’m still 12 years old, at heart.  At least I didn’t post the photo of pigeons getting intimate.
