I’d stop drinking! well at least for 2 or 3 weeks :D
I think those gals need to rethink their position.
Maybe these were the most beautiful girls at that time:)
OMG, that’s hysterical!! A bunch of grumpy ol’ librarians – oh noooo…we don’t get to kiss them? oh noooo! hahahaha!!!
Most of them look like men. Drunk men… Are you sure this is not a spoof? he he he
It looks like most of the ladies have been sucking lemons prior to the photo. I think most blokes would need a couple of strong drinks before attempting to kiss an of them!
Man O man, I would swear that these are actually men in drag. Likely they operate a still in the barn too!
Reminds me of that old classic..”Darling, a drink makes you look very beautiful”….”Why thanks hunny, but I haven’t been drinking”….”I know darling, but I have downed a bottle”
:)
Those “ladies” are the reason why to start drinking, but I think that even a bottle of rum can’t make them pretty ;-)

Kim:)
Those ladys are why us men drink cuz assif we want hem :P
Very funny – but while this was a real slogan of prohibition era teetotalers, the image is bunk – a modern day recreation. Still worth a laugh or too, though.
