What I was referring to, though, was a photo in the owner's manual (maybe I'm the only one who read it--there's no real reason to, I guess, for such a simple camera, but it was the middle of the night and raining and I couldn't find anything interesting to shoot). The photo's caption starts something like, "The above photo, taken at the ballet..." when the photo it's referring to appears to be a topless show. (If it is a ballet, it's a risqué one.) I just thought it was veeeerry dry German humor. ...Ron > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us (Leica Users digest) > Reply-To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2002 18:35:59 -0700 (PDT) > To: leica-users-digest@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: Leica Users digest V22 #342 > > Ron, since I am one of the very few LUG guys who have actually lived in > Wetzlar, (#5 Beethoven Strasse) outside of Leica staff members, I will tell > you that ballet is interesting anywhere. > > The best ballet is always that which is not danced by people from your > hometown.
