That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 16, 2021

Kristin was so embarrassed when her sister would wave to the troop ships.

Artist had extra white paint to use up.

“No matter how desperately you wave, the drilling platforms won’t come any closer.”

Megan was hoping to pick up some hot Mermen at the ocean. or barring that, at least a fisherman or two

“Carol do you remember what those muscular men out on the boats catching fish are they called? Oh, that’s right! They’re hookers!”

Kristin had a very strict understanding of ‘neither a borrower or a lender be’, and she made sure to promptly return anything she borrowed. Which is why she raced down to the seashore to return her brother’s (very) used tissue before his ship cast off.

I want to go in, but I think it is Shark Week!

“Um, Julie, semaphore is done with flags. What you’re doing is called desperation. But cheer up girl, there’re plenty of other men in the sea.”

I guess if we want to be rescued, Sis, we’re going to have to show a little leg!

This is how they let the men on the drilling platforms know a new Pope had been chosen.

When your sailor husband has been away for too long, you begin to even see his “mooring post” in every boat passing by.

“Sis, that’s not what “Airing your dirty laundry” means."

Don’t worry Mary Jo……Ted said he’d be back in time to take you the party in Chappaquiddick tonight.

He told her that he was a banker/ and his yacht was riding at anchor/and he led her astray/ on the sand by the bay/ but he only left her a canker…

Being overly polite, the English Sirens were never quite a successful as there Greek sisters in luring sailors into the rocks.

In spite of the blazing heat/ she was always present to greet/ on hot Summer Sundays/ with a wave of her undies/ the return of the fishing fleet.

All a matter of perspective. Maybe a hankie. Maybe a seagull eating from her hand.

Sure looks like arms rising out of the water to wave back. (somewhat Arthurian)

In France even the ladies wanted in on the flag waving action.

A twist on the “broken token” song.

Only $10 a pair, plus shipping, if you are on OnlyFans!

While Kristen appeared the bolder sister, luring sailors to the beach, it was really Kerstin who was the real sex siren, hiding behind her shy, demure facade.

Honey, come back you took my under panties!

Agnes gives the “Last Lap” signal to the yacht racers as Gertrude, the “trophy”, rests for what will be a busy night ahead.

Signaling her friends that the fleets in.

Wow, this painting puts me right in the warmth of the sunlight. I feel like I’m there.

Except I’m wearing underpants.

Little did those girls realize, that the generous check from the Commodore would bounce higher than his topmast.

“What did you think I meant by a ‘commando mission,’ Dearest?

Mathilda waved by by to all the troops, now she could concentrate on her true love, Ethel.

“Hey, sailor! New in town?”

Shaking the dried snot out of her kerchief.

Which old movie was it, in which the merchant sailor has a dear wifey on one side of the English Channel and a fun “friend” on the other? Maybe Alec Guinness?

“Are you trying to get out of our date?”

Wait! You forgot your mask for when you get to the store!
