Postcard Virgin On The Ridiculous

This is one of my favorite laugh out loud postcards in my collection.
The phrase Verging On The Ridiculous refers to an argument or situation that is no longer credible, and makes precious little sense. The card depicts a virginal old spinster being given a piggy-back ride by a medieval court jester as they seem to be fording a stream. It is just shamelessly daft.

@LadyDuck I really like the Jester's seriously stoned expression

@Ronrybs they can still be found in big places like Brighton and Blackpool but not in great numbers

@arthurchappell It has got me wondering, as I've not been to the seaside for ages, so I am not at all sure if they are still for sale

@akalinus it is just a clever play on word sounds
