Tempus Fugit


The theme at this month's Altered Alice challenge is Time.

I spent ages trying to find a suitable quote about time, or come up with an idea, when I remembered a quote from a while back:

"Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana"

So here it in full, glorious technicolour :)

Oh, and for those who, like the Cubby Hole crew today, think I made it up, you might want to take a look here.

    I agree with Tracy.
    Where do you get them from?
    I bet you have a note book and jot down
    potentially useful ones that just might come in handy one day.
    I'd have to do a Google search or pick up a book, or make them up!!
    Nice artwork, by the way and very amusing flying bananas.

    It's an odd expression, and to me (not being English) it sounds so weird. I know the expression 'going bananas' but flying and bananas??? This has me puzzling... I like the page!

    Thanks for returning for another spin of the wheel on The Altered Alice!!! It does not even surprise me that you have managed to merge Alice, Time, and Groucho Marx into one piece complete with flying bananas, hahaha! Kudos, I love these humorous entries! And I am quite sure that Groucho would approve (insert waggling eyebrows and cigar here)!!!

    I had to laugh out loud with this entry, Nigel. Keep 'em coming! Bananas and fruit flys do go hand in hand.
