When my father got angry, he'd swear "Jesus H. Christ on a bicycle". This was quite confusing. Harry? Herbert? Now, in the crypt of the Templars, the fresco clearly showed

a Jesus Hamford Christ on what looked like a Penny Farthing. Probably, this piece was made by Victorian Templars as a way to express their faith in such sinful and filthy times

Simon used Calibri everywhere.Inspired by its simple sans-serif typeface, he lived sans anything that complicated his life.That is, until the mix up with the #l and lower case "l".

Calibri flew into a rage. "Who is this Ca1ibri slut? How could you sneak around on me? You're breaking my <3." Simon tried to explain the mistake, but Calibri was done listening.

Wait, how did you know about Coltraine? Is there something I don't know about connecting saxophones to hummingbirds that let you to know that the person above you mentioned Coltraine? I'm dumbfounded!

I was online about the same time you were and was reading the folds. I was thinking about LucieLucie's fold and asking myself if Coltrane had really done "My Favorite Things" and had to stop to look it up. Then when I came back, you had already posted your fold...so I just fnished it up! :) Wish I could say I that I have some kind of magical insight, but it's as simple as that. Loved your fold, by the way!

Wikipedia says: John William Coltrane, also known as "Trane"; (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967[1]) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. I think he is one of the most famous Jazz saxophonists. Maybe for that reason. Really enjoyed the images on this one.

Agree, SlimWhitman...and it was your fold that opened the door for the hummingbirds to fly into this story!

I was thinking about a certain kind of nectar decanter I saw at a humming bird feeding station in the Rockies. The shape reminded me of saxophones... Colorful notes flitting out of the bell.
