During my many trips to India, specifically the village of Kerala, this was a familiar sight. Tanned men with enviable full heads of hair, revealing sculpted calves beneath skirts straight out of The Preppy Handbook, working the Tellicherry and Malabar peppercorns as they dried in the sun. No, wait, I’ve never been overseas; I’ve only eaten curry dishes at Royal India off the highway. In any event, their waiters would do themselves a favor to don such gay apparel.

Martha reminds me of a longhaired Ava Gardner.

I like the musical background behind Jim Bob Floyd (three first names!).

Barbara must be feeling for ashy elbows, but she looks like she’d be some fun, especially on Superbowl Sunday. Actually, the first Super Bowl wasn’t until 1967, over 20 years after this picture was taken.

Check out Charles. Have you ever seen a more broad-shouldered, smooth-faced young man? He’s built like Brigitte Nielsen. In fact, he may even be lying down on a thatched floor, resting those long ladyfingers.
