She said, "...a haircut and a blow job." Everyone started cracking up and we lost control of the show for a few seconds, we had two or three wise asses call in and want to bid on it.

In the 60s, my small-town newspaper ran an ad from a local beauty shop who'd hired a new beautician. The copy was something like "xxx Salon welcomes Angie, specializing in hair cutting and blowing."

It's clear to me that 2 x 3 foot color posters are $14.95 and 2 x 3 foot B&W are $3.95 and as far as not knowing whether the only address provided in the ad is the one you should use....are you kidding???

Maybe the color posters and B&W posters were the same price.

Did this ad run before 1966? I remember it from the '70s. I always thought the typography was trying to bring “Blow” and “Up” together to evoke the movie of that name or something.
