Louis XIII's successor, Louis XIV, had a great vision with Versailles. He told his wife (
this broad) "Sweetheart, I want to create a place where people from all over the world, but mostly Japan, can come and visit...all of them at once...around 2 PM on a Thursday in July. What do you think?"
And she said "I think we'll need to take out some of the toilets...I know we're royalty, but, who the hell needs more than two toilets?"
And it was done.
Here are the highlights:
"Chevalier Avez-Vous Vu Cette Ligne à La Salle De Bains ? Mon Dieu!" (cir. 1680)

Leni says I should translate that for you. It means "Sir Did You See That Line At The Bathroom? Jesus Christ!" I'm not joking. Not about this. "Versailles" now translates directly to "Wear A Catheter."
"Les Méchants" (cir. present)

The tail end of a tour group of about 30 people. Led by a single Asian gentleman who was wearing a handsfree microphone, he would speak into his wireless transmitter to the dozens of humans behind him wearing headphones. In this particular case, he bypassed the hand carved gold gilt bed of Marie Antoinette and pointed out Roxy. Following whatever remark he made, they all began to laugh, carrying their jocularity into the Hall of Mirrors.
"L'imbécile" (cir. present)

What can I possibly say that would add anything to this photo? This guy is laying on the floor of Versailles Palace trying to squish the last 4 minutes of his 6 Minute Ab routine between the time he arrives at La Grande Apartement and Security finally catches up with him.
