We need silly things like this during the pandemic.
There are two signs in front of Cynda Fleming’s Toronto home welcoming those who walk by to the jurisdiction of silly walks. It’s a truly silly sidewalk appointment for a truly confusing time but is just the slapstick panacea we need to forget about all that’s going on – if only for a half block.

Fans of Monty Python will recognize this immediately as the place to bust out their silliest walks. A skit made famous by the British comedy troupe, featuring the legendary John Cleese. A wikipedia entry on the skit describes it as follows;
“The sketch as originally depicted in the series begins with John Cleese playing Mr. Teabag, a civil servant who, after purchasing The Times from the newsagent in the previous sketch, walks through the streets of London (at the crossing of Thorpebank Road and Dunraven Road) in a very peculiar manner. He eventually arrives at his place of business: The Ministry of Silly Walks.”
