Father and Son at the Pools - A Double Entendre Delight!
EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming comic postcard, dated from the 20th century, captures the humorous moment between a father and his toddler son at the public swimming pool. The image portrays the duo sitting on the poolside, intently focused on filling out a form on a table. The father, with a serious expression, holds a pen in one hand and the pool admission form in the other, while his young son, dressed in a swimsuit, sits on his lap, also holding a pen and a piece of paper. However, upon closer inspection, the scene takes on a double meaning. The poolside table, covered in newspapers and empty beer bottles, reveals the true nature of their activity. The father and son are not filling out admission forms but rather completing their weekly football pools bets! The toddler's paper and pen are, in fact, used to make his selections. The humor in this postcard comes from the unexpected twist in the scene, as well as the innocent appearance of the father and son, who seem oblivious to the amused onlookers. The father's expression and the son's determined focus on his paper add to the comedic effect. Adding to the fun, a teddy bear and a pair of urine samples sit on the floor nearby, further emphasizing the double meaning of the scene. This delightful comic postcard is a testament to the British sense of humor and the enduring appeal of football pools, even involving the youngest members of the family!
