Description
Captured this little gem at a tourist trap bus stop just outside the ancient Turkish city of Ephesus. At least you have no complaint if you get home and find out it is not a genuine Rolex. This guy was totally genuine in his blatent rip off the suckers piling in from the cruise ship tours. Priceless.
I seem to remember that RodS had a bit of a ta-do about Truth in Advertising sometime this summer so I dedicate this to him.

let the truth be known.. funny!
Very nice work on this fun dedi, Roxie.
Sort of makes me want one!
LOL!!!!!!!!!
Is there a vendor around the corner that sells "fake fake watches" at a cheaper price? Or, like a double negative, would a "fake fake watch" be a genuine watch? The mind reels at the tortured logic of the human mind...
At least that guy was an outspoken bastard!LOL :-)Also You can buy that "Genuine Fake watches" maybe with a cheaper price from their "original" place of manufacture; China!! :-) BTW,I wonder if Renderosity allow us we try to reveal "every kind of truth in "every were"!:-) ?
nothing like an original copy ha ha
Wonder how many people bought one solely for the chance to tell the story to their friends and family? Wonderful capture.
Awesome work
ROTFLMAO!!! Oh, that is just priceless! With one of these you're sure to be on time for the Strip Show starring Cherry! :-D Well, at least they're GENUINE fake watches... As opposed to fake genuine watches (?). Now I have to wonder...... I guess one could take those little wood discs from the hobby store, and draw numbers and hands on them, glue a paper band to the back of it and, hey! A Genuine fake watch! I was wondering how to supplement social security when I retire..... LOL Thanks for the dedication (and franchise idea :-D), Roxy! You made my day. What a wonderful way to kick off the weekend! :-D
This is really great :)
Excellent capture, very funny : this reminds me of a stop-over in Cappadocia with those numerous stalls selling cheap souvenirs. As a friend of mine seemed to be interested in buying an artifact, the guy behind the counter said: 'it 's very cheap, 15 Turkish lira, that is to say 15 euros !!!..expecting that friend to shell out euros preferably , of course!
This is so funny, I laughed out loud at it and I poked my boyfriend to look and he had a good chuckle too. :)
I love it! thanks for the smile!
Nice spot! The dappled light makes it.
Splendid funny dedication my dear!!Bravissima!:DDD.Hugsxx Whylma
At least this salesman is a honest one! Great shot! :o)
This reminds me of something that happened to a bunch of tourists in Prague. Czechs don't actually believe in ghosts and so they don't really have that many ghost stories. I knew a local guy who gave ghost tours (there are at least 2 of them in Prague) and I went on his tour, just to hang out with him and get into photographically-interesting spots. I'd only listened half-heartedly to one of his tour-guide monologues, but I noticed a few particulars: it's nice to know which ghosts haunt which places, after all...you never know when such information might be necessary. I saw him later, went on the same tour-route with him (with a different group of tourists) and at least 1 of the ghost stories was substantially different, and another one was absent. I didn't say anything, but after the tour, we stopped for beer at a little place, and I asked him about the "missing" ghost, and without batting an eyelash or breaking a smile, he informed me that the ghost-in-question had the day off. It would seem that ghosts, in the Czech Republic, are tourist industry employees. This picture is as priceless as the ghost with the day off! I love it.
