;) Found this guy on the beach on Sanibel Island and just HAD to photograph his t-shirt, which proclaims him to be “The Man From Nantucket”. There was a very popular and very dirty limerick regarding such a man that made the rounds when I was in grade school… might be you must have grown up in the American public school system to “get” this one. ;)

  3. I don’t remember it at all….maybe they don’t have dirty limmericks in small Alaska villages??lol :) Finally, able to catch up on the posts. Maybe you should catch one of those grasshoppers and keep it until it molts. Might be interesting. In a cage.

  7. That man is too young to be around when I was young. He might be wearing his father’s shirt. Thanks for sharing.

  12. Oh no, Tink, I went to Catholic grammar school but certainly knew the limerick. I think any one who reads the back of his shirt can figure what the rhyming words are! Ha! Send me your home address and and I’ll send you a gen-u-ine little RED lighthouse. :)
