Persian rug.

Is this being a Persian rug?

NO!

“…It is a genuine, 100% Fucari rug…”

I spotted this rug in High street Shepparton, while looking at rugs. It made me blush at my own thoughts, as sometimes, l have a wicked sense of humour. So wicked, most of my wicked thoughts and jokes don’t get past the thought stage, let alone the lips part.

A few years ago, l used to follow several AFL, Australia Football League pages on face book.

While surfing the net, l used to say, “go Collingwood”, on the Hawthorn Facebook page, or “go Richmond” on the Collingwood page. (Please note it has been a few years, so l may have the teams wrong). I used to think it was hilarious, because l was confident, that somewhere there would be a diehard supporter with steam coming from their ears, as l trolled their pages. l used to alternate as far as l can remember. If l said go Hawthorn, on the Collingwood page, l would try and say go Collingwood on the Hawthorn page. I am confident that no one would have noticed that. l was trying to manage my karma, with a zero-sum game. My face book updates from their pages soon ended, probably due to safety concerns. But l still gets a grin out of it.

It is a Turkish rug.

: )

So, in following that vain, l decided to give rug makers a rib, and deliberately miss identify, the rug in the picture. Hopefully my Flickr account will survive this one. And l am sure if l go to a genuine rug maker, wanting a beautiful rug, l might get the, “…no soup for you, come back in one year…” reply.
