I tried to send this a couple of weeks ago and it never seemed to appear on the list (censorship? oh no - just kidding, I'm not serious about opening that can of worms...). Now I find a copy sitting in my "sent mail" folder so I'll give my list image a second try at self-immolation.

Don't bring Betty Page (or a supposedly reasonable facsimile) into the discussion and then just leave it at that. Where is this euphonium image being displayed? I mean, the Gronitz pic is artsy and all that, Roger Bobo in the altogether is not my thing, but BETTY PAGE!!!??? Where? I have filed away somewhere an image e-mailed to me by a friend what appears to be a reproduction of an old "dirty French postcard" that features two turn of the century (one before last) demoiselles cavorting with some sort of brass instrument (no doubt a m****phone) and fireplace bellows being employed in a rather inventive manner (use your imagination). I don't recall the brand name being visible on the instrument, so I doubt that it was the same image. OK, now that I've completely blown any credibility I may have once had on this list, I return you to your regular programming while I prepare to be lambasted for corrupting the morals of the list readership.
