Fisher and Miss G converse pool-side... That's the real Ginger in the picture. Maybe Fred was hoping she'd drop by. The picture was PD and I put the lettering on it, so I could claim copyright, but I'm not.

In which something, but not so very much, happens. Image is lifted from a Northampton auctioneer's website, the box is long sold, but they still sell such things. I doubt they'll recognise the image after what I've done to it.

Where else would you get rid of an "Admiral's" body? Image source is U.S. National Archives and Records Administration and dated 1923 normally that's PD for U.S. sourced stuff. I guess the USN would be more upset about the content than the use of this graphic.
