Photographer’s Note

Time for some Yukon humour. This is just a record shot - no critique needed. Some friends who ran the White River Lodge located on the Alaska Highway near the Alaska border found a sign in a picture from the late 19th century and decided to replicate it. The sign is from the gold rush days of the 1890's. They assured us that with the advent of washers and dryers that people can now sleep in until 1pm??? ;))

Hi, Phil -

A good one! At first, I focused on the overuse of apostrophes, then I caught the rest of it. Good catch!

Best,
Dan

I was so busy cringing at the mis-use of apostrophes I almost missed the joke. Very funny

Nice one, Phil. Cheerful and original!
I'm smiling too, just like everybody else, at the "use" of apostrophes and at your note. Yukon humor, uh? COOL!
Have a great day, buddy. And TFS!
Cheers,
Fulvio.

Hi Phil,
The soap and springs would be the deal closer for me. Wonderful humorous photo. There is a resturant in Maine that advertises warm beer and lousy food. They do a great business.

Hello Phil,

Fabulous TE-package, good photograph with a complementary note. I took some friends around historic Fredericksburg, Virginia on Sunday morning. Hung the 18th century Rising Sun Tavern was the sign, "No more than five men allowed to share a bed!"

Warm regards,

Bulent
