Description

For real this was taken outside my house in Islip Road Oxford - honest. I saw the monthly theme and thought ah the classic gag, it's just gotta be especially when you live in a street called Islip road. Yeah my friend thought I'd lost it too. Taken with a Sigma 15 - 30mm lens at 20mm - 100 ISO opened right up for a narrow field of focus.

Now this is hilarious! I love it! And maybe my imagination is running rampant this morning, but are you sure that's not Bill Clinton getting ready to take a fall? Ha! #160839

LOL! I immediately thought it was Clinton, too. Makes this even funnier (oops, SLIP of the tongue)! Very creative, David. #727696

Ohmygod! After laughing at David's description, I about dying laughing again when I read Sherri's comment about Clinton. He really DOES look like Bill! LOL! This is very clever on a number of levels and it's well executed, David! I hope this image wins big! :-) #727971

Ah, didn't I tell you that Bill is my brother?? Must have forgotten to mention that - it's odd what you can forget in the daily hubub of life. A "I did not have a banana with that man" type denial will be issued later today.
Many thanks for your comments and observations, especially Sherri for letting the cat out of the bag.

Ha! Getting ready to slip-up, is he?This wouldn't be the first "fall from grace" that Bill's experienced! #751810
