Funny = Money

THE LOCAL ENGLISH radio station (Riviera Radio) has a contest each week where they ask listeners to call in jokes and the morning hosts pick the one they like best and reward the joke-teller with a prize. For weeks Patrick and Julia have been begging me to call in a joke so this week I decided to give it a shot. Last Sunday evening I left a message on the 'joke line' at Riviera Radio.

Well, I won!

My joke was played on the air this morning as I was taking the kids to school. The fun part of this little story is that the prize this week a pretty good one: a €150 gift certificate to Le Relais des Coches in Tourrettes-sur-Loup -- one of the best known restaurants on the Cote d'Azur. You can click here to take a look at their menu.

Our friend Michel stayed in Tourrettes-sur-Loup when he was here several months ago and bragged about a very good meal he had at one of the restaurants -- I wonder if this was the place?

So sometime in the next couple of weeks we'll enjoy a nice weekend lunch at a nice little retaurant in a nice little village that has a nice little view Nice, Antibes, Cannes and the Mediterranean Sea. All because I told a nice little joke about an Englishman, and Irishman, and a Scott who walk into a bar...
