jQuery ≥ 1.7
With jQuery 1.7 onward the event API has been updated, .bind()/.unbind() are still available for backwards compatibility, but the preferred method is using the on()/off() functions. The below would now be,
$('#myimage').click(function() { return false; }); // Adds another click event
$('#myimage').off('click');
$('#myimage').on('click.mynamespace', function() { /* Do stuff */ });
$('#myimage').off('click.mynamespace');
jQuery < 1.7
In your example code you are simply adding another click event to the image, not overriding the previous one:
$('#myimage').click(function() { return false; }); // Adds another click event
Both click events will then get fired.
As people have said you can use unbind to remove all click events:
$('#myimage').unbind('click');
If you want to add a single event and then remove it (without removing any others that might have been added) then you can use event namespacing:
$('#myimage').bind('click.mynamespace', function() { /* Do stuff */ });
and to remove just your event:
$('#myimage').unbind('click.mynamespace');
To get the path, you can use:
var pathname = window.location.pathname; // Returns path only (/path/example.html)
var url = window.location.href; // Returns full URL (https://example.com/path/example.html)
var origin = window.location.origin; // Returns base URL (https://example.com)

Use a hash in your URL like:
