Gag Gift at Gisholt Dinner Gathering
Image
Sid Boyum trying out his gag gift from Gisholt Machine Company co-workers after a dinner gathering. The gift is a home-made portable "stool" designed with folding metal legs and a wooden toilet seat. With cigar in hand, he is seen staring at the camera while seated on the stool with pants down by his knees, thigh visible, and blazer hiding his derriere. His colleagues, sitting at tables and standing in a crowded doorway, are laughing and smiling with him as they are drinking and smoking, too. They are in a restaurant with wood wainscoting, decorative wall paper, and sconce lighting.
