Although February is the shortest month, it feels like it’s never going to end when you’re not a big fan of winter. And now there’s another special weather statement for a storm on Monday. Yippee!
All of this frigid weather we’ve endured lately has me dreaming of summer beaches, sunny climes, and tropical getaways.
I took this photo of swimming pool rules on our resort in the Dominican Republic last spring. My man and I got a kick out of the “No Topless” symbol. Wouldn’t you agree it’s just a tad provocative titillating?
No need to warn me about the rule of “no smooking” either!
This is my contribution to Kammie’s Oddball Challenge.
Odd Ball Photos are those great photos that you take which really don’t seem to fit into a common category. We’ve all taken them and like them, because we just can’t hit delete and get rid of them. If you have any of those type of photos, this challenge is for you. – Kammie

What is smooking, is it some strange act I have not heard of or is it just a typo

It’s a typo for smoking, Joanne. xo

After reading this long and extensive list I wouldn’t be surprised if you said this was just one of two such signs! The No Top image is slightly odd as it is in great contrast to the other stylised images. Hope you all had fun otherwise, in spite of all the rules! 😀

Well, I did cut off a portion on top with more rules! I think someone had a little fun with the no topless image, don’t you? 😊

The No Topless graphic is a bit titillating! Ha ha. I think “Smooking” is “kissing with cigarette breath.” 😀

That is a really long list of rules, made more confusing by the many languages. Does anyone read them? Well, besides you?

Great fun Jennifer. Our swimming pools had standard signs when I was growing up and they’ve now become collectable as vintage items. One of ours was ‘no petting’ with a picture of a couple surrounded by love hearts…
