Nice pic
I think "disgust" is a little strong there pardner ... maybe you've got "other" issues to deal with. I think it's a great pic.
If I paid more
could I not!! have the naked guy rub me down with a porcupine or anything else for that matter!
Porcupine
The "porcupine looking thing on the massage table" is broom made of oak leaves, called a "platza" (Russian) or "besen" (Yiddish). It is used to scrub and massage the bather. Obviously, you have never been to a Russian-Turkish bath.
Painstaking Turkish detail!
Hey, what do you want for 10 cents?
massage implement
What's that porcupine looking thing on the massage table?
Actually the place looks like it's just been hosed out so maybe it is clean.
"Bath House"?
Is this a "bath house" Turkish bath?
10 cent Turkish bath
Looks more like a torture chamber. It's filthy too.
