Friday Fish 11-30-12

The day was bound to come when I had no feet and no fannies to post.  So, I decided to share this image which is from a display at the Naval Training Center in San Diego along the hallway we walk from Visions Art Museum to have lunch at Solare restaurant.  This picture just tickles me.


This lady is so nicely dressed in what I suppose is a cannery workers uniform, white stockings, a necklace and a gardenia corsage.  And yet she is holding a sticky, smelly fish.   This was surely before women were permitted to wear trousers, so pre-WWII.   What an incongruous image!  But that's advertising for you - tricky and deceptive. 
 

This is the sign alongside the picture, telling about a canning industry that has long ago moved overseas.
