And now we know why prohibition didn't work.

2nd row, 2nd from the left, I see John Goodman. If our women looked like that today, there'd be no need for Viagra, no matter how old you were. Or eyesight, for that matter. |

Second Row, second from the right looks like Al from Married With Children. I wasn't so sure that I agreed with you until I noticed that she seems to have her hand tucked into her pants. This thread title is "If you saw this picture in 1919...". I'm assuming Tbob couldn't fit the full line into the title section. Maybe it's supposed to end with "... then you'd be at least 89 years old, and these women would look pretty good to you." |

It's because of that picture that prohibition won. All the men ran to the nearest bar and were to drunk to vote.

I don't know that these women were necessarily teetotallers at all. Perhaps they were just very self-aware of their ugliness, and the sign is, in its own bass-ackwards way, an endorsement for the phenomenon known as "beer goggles".
I can imagine the meeting they had...
"Ok ladies, we know we've all beaten quite mightily with the ugly stick, no two ways around it. And that's kept us from having any physical contact with men. And now there are women out there who want to ban alcohol, so that no man will ever be able to get drunk enough to actually slip us the ol' pork sword. We have to get our message out to all the ugly women of America, and warn them that they may never get so much as a kiss if all of our nation's men are forced to remain sober. Edna, can you make a big sign, Ruby, you get everybody lined up around it, and we'll get Mister Wilbanks to come over and take the picture... after he's had a few drinks, of course..."
Hey is that former Vaudville-era and National Lampoon's "Vacation" star Imogene Coca in the middle on the second row?
