"I Got This All Night"

The postcard I chose to write about is called, “I Know You Won’t Believe It- But the First One I Caught Was 250 Lbs.” This card first caught my eye because it was not like the other postcards. Instead of having a picture of a location, this one has a cartoon. When I clicked on the link to see a larger picture, I noticed that it was humorous as well. I could not think of any reason why someone would want to buy this card. I looked for what was written on the card. The only thing written was “I got this all night.” This made me laugh, and I decided to investigate further. The interesting part about this card is that I cannot make out if the name of the sender is male for female. I began to wonder what the context of this card was. Was it a man bragging about his success with the ladies? Or was it a woman, fed up with men commenting on her size? Regardless, the briefness of the note and the humorous picture on the front leaves me to infer that this may have been a running joke between the sender and the recipient. The recipient is male, Mr. Ed Salsich. Could these people be related? Could they be in some kind of relationship? The possibilities are endless. And the truth is that we may never know the answer. However, it is interesting that we can come up with many different ideas about what this card means simply by looking at a picture and a short note on the back.
