Sailors have a bad reputation of being drunkards - Parrot on the shoulder and bottle of rum in the hand. This is not true. We are sober people who like just a drop or two once in a while and nothing more. If you don't believe me ask Cornelius. :)

Onr for manic Monday!

I like how this sailor is inviting guests to the dining tables nearby, set among some beautiful gardens.

"What do you do with a drunken, sailor so early in the morning?" You take his photo and enter him in Manic Monday.
Good one Raj.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

---We are sober people who like just a drop or two once in a while and nothing more. If you don't believe me ask Cornelius. :)---

Of course I like to confirm this Raj, because in our former career we knew perfectly our responsibility. Even nowadays two glasses with red wine is my weekly limit.

I can't deny that the behavior of some sailors has given us to a certain extent a bad reputation.

This capture made me smile however (thanks for that), because it's a perfect persiflage of the reality and a proper entry for Manic Monday.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Hey, what the heck, you managed to blend my two sons into a single dude (one's in the Navy; the other loves his beer)... well, except for the parrot (it would have been a lizard instead). Perfect for Monday and I love the inference to Cornelius. 8oDDDDDDDDD --- I was in the Navy myself so in my mind this guy is "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" (no, I will not recite the lyrics... this is a family site, after all, right?).
