Two Lips In Amsterdam

Phyllis Upman was a young maid When she learnt the rules of her trade: Show men what they want Behave nonchalant And be sure to pull down the shade! n.b. Window shopping in Amsterdam is a more popular tourist attraction than tulips

Like the idea of 'window shopping' and the woman learning the tricks of the trade and 'pulling down the shade'..... :)

It doesn't work well for men; even flashers need a break! Aloha!

I met Don Ho at the Tiki Room, he played "Tiny Bubbles" or was it Tiny Tim who played "Tip Toe Through The Two Lips?" To the Wahini's! Lol

Never have been to Amsterdam or out of the country and your right in every country men will look at women and women at men before the flowers, not unless they like the same sex :) . But, your funny.

De Wallen is the "redlight" district of Amsterdam, where male & female prostitutes display their assets via picture windows. A queue of repeat customers does not indicate a sale! Aloha!

I was always surprised by the number of men shopping arm-in-arm with their wife or lover. Life continues to be filled with surprises! I hope Razz Putin learns that soon! Aloha 'oe! (Whom ever came up with Lazy Susan never knew you!!!)
