Ok, guys, updating my own post with a new ad from the same online group.  This time, it's the 70s and the subject is trains run by COMPUTERS:

Image may contain: 4 people, people smiling, people sitting

The picture provokes many questions:

  1. Why does the kid have a garden hose in the kitchen?
    Obviously being sent out to water the lawn while dad plays with the train
  2. What exact command did the director scream before taking this shot (e.g., "Everyone!  Quick!  Make the stupidest face possible!")
    "Everybody act normal..."
  3. Why did "Mr. Computer Know It all" (presumably the father) need to disassemble the phone to run a Marx train?
    And you thought controlling a train with a phone was something new....
  4. Why does the mother have an entire ham in a bowl?
    Why not???

Notice grandma's got her hand on the thermostat so they won't be cooling the whole neighborhood....

Rusty

Have at it, guys.
