It looks a very gay place - such bright colours, and charming birds . . . and is that Harpo Marx sitting in the background?

A rather bittersweet photograph, for in hindsight we know that this was quite possibly the last Christmas he spent with his young wife and newborn baby . . .

* = In this instance, a "beard" is a person of the opposite sex who marries or dates a closeted lesbian or gay person to cover up their homosexuality. In the past, often lesbians married gay men so that both could "pass" as straight, either for work or for their families.

How quaint and charming! I see it also offers dancing. That must be Thelma talking to the motorcycle cop.

A most delicately phrased comment from Mr. Rubber Ducky on my Flickr Stream posting:

Then a dash-outt to the outhouse for a good sitdown with disgusting noises involved as one experiences the egress of unmentionableness. Thelma was never one to be overly concerned with sanitation. And never gave a thought to the fact that the well for the cafe had been dug only 15 feet from the outhouse.

I appreciate that some of you, dear viewers, might consider the inclusion of this photograph to be somewhat incongruous . . . can you guess why I have posted it?
