Le Funi - March 29, 1925



"The Humorous Funi
The Beautiful Signs

In a central town, a shoe merchant lists the various categories of his merchandise: Children's - Luxury - Fatigue - Women's
Who knows if the League for Repopulation will find something to complain about.

In Paris, on a small street near Montagne Ste-Geneviève, above a shop one can read: Optician Specialist for Vision
Until now, it was believed that the word optician was sufficient.

Posted on the window of a hairdresser in Calvados, one can see the following notice:
Signor Ernest, King of Scissors, informs his numerous customers that due to the crowds flocking to his salon, he has hired a Viceroy of Scissors from La Belle Italie.
It is true that we have never loved kings as much as since we have been a Republic.

In Nice, one reads on the window of a shoemaker: Repairs in all genres, You can lengthen and shorten the shoe at will
These shoes that lengthen at will leave us dreaming.

In Paris, a grocery store displays the following notice: "The house receives eggs directly from its parents who live in the countryside." Damn!!!
