Boobs Up! Boobs Up!
Recently, on a trip to Chicago, I leared that it was wholly unacceptable to take a picture of a lady that showed anything but her head and shoulders. This led to a lot of laughing and strange looks from other toursists when I was set to take a picture and my subject was screaming "Boobs Up!, Boobs Up!".
Imagine my surprise when on our harbor cruise the other night, when an Italian couple asked me to take their picture. I obliged. Not speaking very much English the gentleman came over and asked if I could take another one, like this: He then proceeded to put his hand out at about his boob level, palm down, parallel to the floor. He then raised his outstretched hand from his chest, up to his head.
"Ahh", I said. "Boobs up, I understand completely."

Am i the only one who instantly keeps picturing tah-tahs pointing straight in the air as if caught on a fishing pole reel when you hear boobs up?

why are women so afraid of our assets? if testicles were located on a man's chest they'd be in every picture ;-)

Ah, I see. Next time, I'll try asking in Italian to see if that inspires compliance.
(too funny!!)

Testicles usually ARE located on your chest from what I hear, Scottie!
