Friday Funny: Booze And Ugly People
A reader sends me this old bit of prohibition propaganda.

The irony is that there’s no way some of those women are getting smooched without the smoocher benefiting from a few cocktails first.

Looking at those women would make me want to run to the nearest Bar pronto!

As if we needed more reasons to drink.

Especially the wide eyed beauty wearin the sign!
Dang.. now them are some ugly mugs!
I need a drink

A guy would have to be drunk to want to kiss some of these gals!

Not sure, but the one to the left of the wide-eyed beauty in the center very likely is a cross-dresser.

Zsa Zsa,
Nobody gets THAT drunk… ever!

I thought beer goggles were for helping ugly people get smooched???
Keep in mind that in those days, nobody smiled for a picture because the exposure time was too long--your face would shift and your mouth would end up as a blur. Keep in mind as well that having a few more pounds was considered attractive in those days. So the thought of giving these ladies a kiss probably wasn’t as repulsive as you’d think today.
Also, keep in mind that in those days, you didn’t just kiss any lady that came down the street; what these ladies are suggesting in this picture is that teetotaling wives would refuse affection to their husbands if they came home smelling of demon rum. Might have been a fairly effective ad.
BB,
Ugly is ugly… no matter what era.
“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”
LOL.. BB!
Sorry, but a smile is not going to do enough justice to those faces to make any difference. As for the teetotaling point.. that I understand, but still as Bat1 said, ugly is just that ... Uuuuugly!
As for the weight issue, I’m afraid those women could be skinny as a bean stake and still be quite homely. Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that they look like they could, and very well would, whoop all our asses.
Bike Bubba, Do you have your beer googles on?
I was going to dispute its historical accuracy. Looked like a fake to me.
I was wrong. It’s a still from an Edison short.
The way I heard it, was
Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone!
Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.
If you look carefully at each of these women, it should be readily apparent why their husbands drink. What is not so apparent is how those husbands ever got THAT desperate in the first place!
“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”
If you look long enough, you might get thirsty.
OK, OK… let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps, they’re all very unphotogenic. Being one myself, I can understand that. Getting so many photogenic challenged women together at one time is a bit slim, but hey… just maybe right?
Now, if it was all an act to look dog @$$ ugly, then DANG… give them boards a well deserving oscar .. acadamy award… nobel ugly prize, cause they done good!
Perhaps, they’re all very unphotogenic.
A truly weapons grade bit of understatement there, Ms. Anna!

Married life must not agree with Rob if Friday Night Babes has come to this!!!

No beergoggles at all (I’m a teetotaler); it’s just that I’ve seen a lot of horrendous pictures of people that I know have good-looking descendants. No smile and an extra 30 lbs can do a number on someone so that we moderns think that someone with a decent facial structure would be Medusa.
Plus, note again that it’s from a short, maybe even a nickolodean. They might be actresses, or hamming it up. Who knows. The sucked-in cheeks look awfully forced.
Yikes!
Not even at closing time, baby.
Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed
LOL.. yeah *BROADS is what I meant (and y’all knew that)
There is some peculiar lighting and depth of focus in that picture. But it is worth a grin just the same.
Reminds me of the old joke:
“My first wife died from eating poison mushrooms.
My second wife died because she wouldn’t eat the poison mushrooms”
it’s just that I’ve seen a lot of horrendous pictures of people that I know have good-looking descendants
You don’t think ugly people can have attractive descendants?
Though, admittedly, people may have been uglier back then. It’s evolution. Pretty people tend to breed more, right?
I’m mostly joking. Beauty is a state of mind I think. I’ve met overweight people with dental problems who I considered attractive because they had such a pleasant and sociable demeanor. I’ve also seen fashion models who were so arrogant and condescending that I couldn’t see why anyone would find them attractive.
Unfortunately, I think the women in the photo above probably suffer both from physical unattractiveness and a condescending , naggish demeanor.
Just my two cents.
The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:
Rob, the trick is that the skin, facial, and other characteristics in a beautiful descendant have to exist in the ugly forebears’ DNA, too.
Personally, I don’t believe in intrinsically ugly people. I’ve seen people marred by birth defects, by carrying excess weight, by drugs and hard living, by disease, and by the horrific damage of a life of hate.
Anger and weight are certainly working on these ladies, but I’d bet that if you (or I) were still single, we might be hitting on their great-granddaughters. Or maybe we have already.
