The other day, I was shopping at Herbs & Spice, a food store on Bank Street. I walked out carrying heavy bags and in a hurry to go back home, and fell face to face with this sign from the shop next door, Wilde’s: “Nothing says ‘I love you’ better than a dildo”.

I was sort of taken aback for a second, then it made me giggle like a schoolgirl. Probably the bluntness of the sign mixed with the expectation of corny family-friendly ads for the holiday season. Or my weird French mind—who knows!

I actually went back there on Saturday to snap the picture—I was relieved the sign was still there!
