Way Late Postcard Shenanigans 2

Sometimes there are things I can't post at the time, because doing so would ruin the surptise while they are in train. When something jogs my memory about it at a later stage, I go back and post about it. This is another of those posts.

So, a while back I posted that I bought a dozen identical postcards and sent them all to Emma while I was in the USA. I claimed that this was a random posting. It was not, it was because more postcard shenanigans were in the works..

I posted that I had also visted the toilet museum and that they sold postcards, which they did. Two of them.




So, I proceeded to send Emma a dozen postcards from the toilet museum.



"But Tim" I hear you protest, "You said the toilet museum only sold two postcards, surely six of each would be old hat and basically the same gag as last time"

This is true.

What I also didn't post about at the time was that I had discovered that via a smartphone app, you can go to the 7-11 here and print out files from your phone to a MFD style printer, and that one of the things you can print to is a postcard.

I took photos of the two Toilet Postcards, and from various photos I took in the toilet museum via the magic of Photoshop (Paint.NET technically), I constructed an additional 10 fake Toilet Museum postcards, and sent them to Emma every couple of days, in increasing order of outlandishness to see if at any point she would go "Hang On! These cannot be real."



















I don't recall the exact order I sent them in, this would be arough approximation but I don't believe I would have sent all three toilet/room cards one after the other. I am certain I sent the two "real" ones (I printed photos of these at the 7-11 to make sure the backs of the postcards all matched) first, and the urinal one was definitely last.

  1. Did I ever question it? I can’t remember. Now they’re all up on my wall so I look like some weird toilet aficionado

    1. I asked you shortly after and you said it never really occurred to you they might be fake.
