Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for September 11, 2009

So you’re the one!

During the First World War, an Italian artillery unit got really bored and shot the nose off the Sphinx.

So that’s the true skinny!

Contemporary art during the time of Napoleon I, shows the Sphinx minus it’s nose.

Sphinx, isn’t that muscle toward your lower end?

no, Yukoner, he only sphinx it is.

This was all explained in Asterix and Cleopatra

Napoleon’s men shot it off

@drwatson… Another Asterix & Obelix fan :) Love those guys!!

I think she might have been taken flying lessons about the same time I was.

broomie has learned a lot about flying since she hit the sphinx

She was probably night flying at the time. There was no radar back then.

It was Napoleon & company who defaced the Sphinx. Maybe Broomie was the weapon they used.

They were probably trying to hit Broomie as she mad a fly past while thumbing her nose at them, or worse mooning the general :D

Old joke time:

If the Sphinx has no nose, how does he smell?

Like a rolling stone.

Are you invoking Robert Zimmerman.

dkram: Was he the one wrote the telegram?

Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan What telegram?

Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A (The Sphinx): You tell me.

(Somewhat different Sphinx, perhaps.)
