john_morris4 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 That's really amazingly good. Maybe even better than Tom Lehrer's Elements song with the same tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Not too likely! I actually make some money with my Leicas. They've been my major source of income for over 40 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_kaplan1 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Grant, lighten up! The shirts weren't my idea. Jon shot the pic at the annual camera show here at the N. Miami Armory and posted it on the forum. That was the first time I saw it. James came up with the shirt idea, emailed Jon and me for permision, put up the money to order the shirts, and has been shipping them out. About all I do is joke around about it. It sure hasn't brought me any photography business. I'm the one that made the silly face that Jon captured. So what? Now it's becoming a bit of a joke here in N. Miami also. People who've seen me wearing mine have ordered a few. Some people in my fishing club and our gay city councilman! Whoopy doo! I haven't made the first penny and James is probably still in the hole. Now if you can convince Michael Jackson to wear one on his next album cover (or even to his next court appearance...LOL) and get The Gap to start carrying the shirts I'm sure James would be willing to cut you in for a few percent of the net. Stop taking life so damned seriously! Have some fun! Maybe even giggle a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all of the claims in the satire are true. This one is clearly false: "And although I've tried the other brands they always are inferior. They can't resolve the fuzz upon a baby's bare posterior." I'm here to say there are many non-Leitz lenses that will resolve the fuzz on a baby's bare posterior. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
