Flayed me to death that picture Aaron.
My main PC has a 53" monitor so his head was bigger than mine :D

As funny as it is, it's not original.

I've heard it before, but it fits the card perfectly.

It's a lovely old card but I don't get the joke, so here's a variation using dialogue of my own.

One of the odd things about Morays is that they go for anything white. I guess that this is because there is hardly anything white under water except the insides of dead fish.

(This is from personal experience of Moray eels while diving in the Red Sea on the underwater platform at the southern tip on the Sinai Peninsular. The moray eels would come out of their reef holes if enticed by a white area on a diver's swimming fin.)

That's a bit racist.

In the Red Sea, white men learn this rule:
don't dive naked cos nature is cruel
and think how you'll feel
if a bloody great eel
makes a meal of your goolies and tool.

Yours is best, Alison. Plus it could easily have been written then, the style's spot on.

Thanks a lot, Beaky.
And thanks also to everybody else who's had a kind word to say about something I've posted.

I got a shock last night. I was googling saucy postcards and one of my own efforts on BCG came up!
It's the one on the top left.

Here's a beautiful seaside postcard from 1946.
Whoosh! Right over the censors' heads.

Image

So sapphic!

A genuinely funny Pedro postcard? Either that or else I'm very very drunk.

More subtle than his usual ones, true!

I like that one.

My alternative re-punctuated and re-dialogued version

I'm not going to recaption this one.
It looks as if the publisher has already done that (probably after a police raid).
