A Chillingly Humorous Warning at the Seaside - Comic Postcard, Woman in Orange Bikini at the Seaside, Dangerous To Bathers Step back in time with this delightfully amusing comic postcard from the 20th century, featuring an unassuming scene at the seaside. The image captures the quintessential British holiday experience, with a woman in an orange bikini taking a leisurely seat on the sand, her sandals kicked off to the side. But as the title ominously suggests, "Dangerous to Bathers," there's more to this seemingly ordinary snapshot than meets the eye. The humor in this postcard lies in the double entendre of the warning sign, which plays on the literal and figurative meanings of the word "dangerous." While the woman in the orange bikini may appear unattractive or even unremarkable to some, the sign serves as a humorous reminder that she is, in fact, a danger to the bathers around her. The use of the word "maid" or "spinster" in the title adds an extra layer of amusement, implying that the woman's singleness is the source of her dangerous allure. This comic postcard is a perfect example of the British sense of humor, which often relies on subtle wordplay and innuendo. The image and text work together to create a lighthearted and fun piece that is sure to bring a smile to the face of any viewer. Whether you're a fan of classic comedy or simply looking for a unique and humorous addition to your collection, this postcard is a must-have.
