Who Can't Swim?

This is actually a picture I would buy- but only if it came with the witty title was printed on it as well.

I've enjoyed your site immensely, but never posted a response until today ... BRILLIANT post title! Thanks for sharing and posting all these amazing photos.

For the record, I spelled Dusies the other way since the original term referenced the automobile.

[The slang term is "doozy." Which comes from Duesenberg. Following the literal (and non-standard) spelling strategy would make it "Duesies," not Dusies. - Dave]

I know you won't post yet another similar comment, but I think this is the funniest title yet, and you've had some doozies. For me, at lunchtime, it was lemonade, not coffee that almost went wrong way.

Dave, you outdid yourself on this title. I also sprayed my morning coffee out of my nose.

[I feel a quiet sense of accomplishment. - Dave]

That is the funniest post title I have ever seen on Shorpy! I about spit out my coffee!
