One of those taggy games

Thanks to the Koala Bear Writer, I am going to spend the next three days lying on the couch in a self-therapy session for getting involved in one of these things. For the time being I'll justify it to myself by saying I haven't had much else to blog about and I know it's just a harmless fluffy diversion anyway. Ahem.

This photo was taken in 2003. A group of friends was out for dinner one Saturday night with another friend -- P, in the photo -- who was visiting from Sydney. P was a pretty exuberant bloke back in 2003 (I think marriage has turned him into a comparatively old man since then, but don't tell him I said that) and was entertaining us by spontaneously leapfrogging the parking meters as we walked down the street in search of a restaurant. These were tall parking meters too, I might add. Anyway, Craig pulled out the camera and P obligingly jumped another one for him.

What cracks me up about this photo, however, is that he happened to jump over a parking meter that was just outside a National Australia Bank branch, and Craig caught the sign in the photo. This in itself is not very funny, except that P was working for the NAB at the time. I always wished that the NAB was running one of those promotional campaigns where they photograph their own employees doing crazy stuff so that we could submit the photo and make millions from the royalties.

OK, now here's the fun bit. I get to share the love with some others. All righty then Dana (you knew you would be it, didn't you?), Sazz and skimbly -- go for your lives.
1) Pick the sixth photo from the sixth album or folder in your photo collection.
2) Post it to your blog and tell the story behind the photo.
3) Tag some other blog friends to do the same. Be glad it doesn't have to be six others.

All right, I'll play! It'll probably take me a few weeks though!
