Travel Photo Roulette Round #33: Humour
I was lucky enough to host last week’s round of Travel Photo Roulette, and I choose the theme of HUMOUR (or maybe it choose me…I’m not too sure).
In any case, I was happy to have received so many great chuckles and smiles each day from fellow bloggers. There was such a variety that it was hard to choose a winner. I narrowed it down to 5, but in the end there was one photo that really made me chuckle every time I looked at it…
So without further ado, here are…
The Four Runners-up and the Winner of Travel Photo Roulette: Round #33
5. Jeremy from Livingthedreamrtw.com (the original originator of Travel Photo Roulette) submitted the following tantalizing menu option:
“Poor menu translations are my favorite thing to find while traveling. Chicken with herpes? Why yes, I’ll take two. (First menu item on the top left – Taken in Aswan, Egypt)” –> I love strange menu items and although STDs are no laughing matter, they kinda are when it comes to poultry.
4. Michael from Strux Travel sent this pooch in the caboose photo. I think this is what they call doggy style, no?
“This dawg’s got it goin’ on! I took this photo through our coach’s front window, en route from Madrid to Segovia, Spain” --> Sex is Magic indeed, especially when it’s in the backseat of your car…with your dog.
3. Michael at Time Travel Turtle had his hands full with this sign…
“I’m not sure whether this is funny or just wise (or a terrible mistake). But an internet shop in Bali clearly knows what the technology is really used for.” –> I love bizarre (and dirty) signs so took an instant liking to Wank Internet.
2. Denise from The Art of Slow Travel caught these primates monkeying around in Indonesia…
“This photo was taken in Bali at the Ubud Monkey forest sanctuary. These two lovely monkeys couldn’t quite understand why all the people around them kept taking pictures…” –> I love, love, LOVE this photo! It’s got monkeys AND ass! How can you go wrong with that? As soon as I saw it I thought…how can anyone top this? (Sorry Denise…someone did.)
And now…my favourite photo…The winner of Travel Photo Roulette Round #33 is…
1. William from My Walkabout sent in this head-scratcher (hee hee) — it’s a relief (double hee hee) of a hunchback washing the penis of a dude who appears to be putting in eye-drops.
“I took this at a children’s animal park while in Nairobi Kenya for the first time. Laughing, all I could think about was the line from the 1980′s movie Arthur, “Can I wash your dick Sir?”
It may have cultural significance, but I was way too embarrassed to ask the locals…” –> Let me repeat that — it’s a hunchback washing the penis of a dude who’s putting in eye-drops. It’s funny, it’s weird, it’s creepy, and boy is it humorous!
Congratulations to William from My Walkabout You’ll get to host Travel Photo Roulette #34 – really looking forward to see what the next theme will be!

Ha! I like the monkey shot. Many stories can come from that image. Much like the penis washing one, but dare not try to understand it.
Maybe that’s why the ancients invented the shower…”Smithers, come hither and scrub my pee-pee now would you?”
A travel photo roulette – what a fun idea! My fave is the monkey shot as well, looks so oddly innocent. That last photo defies… well, everything.
The monkey one had my vote too until William came in at the last minute with that crazy washing of the bits scene…
Wow! Thank you so much, I am honored.
Excellent work good sir! Can’t wait to see what theme you pick!
Congrats William! Have to agree with Raymond – one would be hard pressed to find ANYTHING funnier! Wow. Just wow. Can’t wait to see your pick for a theme next week! -David and Veronica
If that’s the children’s zoo, I hate to see how they decorate the adult zoo…
They probably have live action figures at the adult one…
LOL! I would love to hear the significance behind that image AND understand why it was used at the zoo. Great photos, I needed a laugh.
I’m thinking now it might be a circumcision scene. I mean, it was at the kid’s zoo.
I liked the Internet Cafe Photo… until I saw today’s #1 pick. That’s great!
I think that’s going to be my next tattoo…
Those pics are hilarious… Congrats!
It was really fun to participate in this round!
Ha ha! Love these!
Thanks D!
OMG Those all made me laugh out loud! The winning photo definitely deserved it!
It was a clean sweep!
Thanks for picking me to be in the top 5! It is truly one of my favorite humorous photos. I have to bow when I am beat, because the ones you chose definitely made me laugh! Congrats to the winner and for hosting a successful round! Looking forward to the next round as always.
Great topic and set of submissions for this round. You chose a good Top 5, and the top entry was a clear winner.
Thanks Jay! Glad you liked my pic picks!
