Photo Friday – Solitude [photofriday.com]
Solitude. This is a late entry. 🙂 I took the photo this afternoon –
it’s a single “laughing bag” sitting in solitude on top of a vacuum
tube amplifier. The laughing bag is a novelty item which emits this
peeling and slightly manic laughter when you give it a squeeze. I got
it about two years ago, and the battery is still running strong. I know
someone with Down Syndrome in her late 40s who LOVES this thing, it
always makes her laugh, and that’s a good thing. 🙂 Dogs like it too,
but my cat is apprehensive of the sounds of mirth this laughing bag
emits.
