**Beyond the Stupidity Defence** This is the "Buffoon Defence" As in 'Just because I'm waving a loaded gun around, doesn't mean anybody thinks I'll fire it". This is fairly close to an insanity plea.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
