SOS ?
No, I doubt it. This picture is, I think, some sort of advert (recruiting, perhaps?).
I think it's a demonstration of all the methods of communication.

The semaphore letter is, I think an 'I'. (for the other letters see HERE).

The optical thing on the tripod may be part of a Heliograph.
The sitting figure looks like he's on the 'phone.
The bloke on the right is holding what looks like an Aldis lamp box (frankly, it could be anything).

Now someone can tell me exactly where I went wrong.

Where is the guy with the phone on the selfie stick?

Nobody could stick it like Mary Lou Retton.

Interesting side note: Prior to her gold medal journey, MLR had been hanging out at the brand new Dominos Pizza in Fairmont, WV, and would occasionally help with answering phones and taking orders when they got extra busy.

When she was going through the early qualifying stages for the '84 Olympics, the franchise owner contacted Tom Monaghan and tried to talk him into helping sponsor her. In exchange, she would agree to be a free spokesperson for the chain should she make a good showing or medal in an event. She was basically just looking for someone to help cover travel costs to the trials.

I remember overhearing Monaghan tell the franchise owner just over a year later that saying 'No' to that request was probably one of the top three most incorrect business decisions he had ever made.

Actually, he was more right than wrong, IMO.

Before she was 'Dorothy Zbornak' on 'Golden Girls' Bea Arthur was Maude ...the cousin by marriage that made Archie Bunker crazy on 'All In the Family.'

A good example of a character exhibiting an incensed character is Alf Garnet. [aka the late Warren Mitchell]. See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIMsmtbm6_8

Julia Sugarbaker is the USA's TV queen of showing what incensed looks like. This display of her slice~n~dice tongue is just one example of so many she pulled off while on "Designing Women."

And the moral is: Never, ever, ever piss off a true Southern Belle! Those ladies don't bother with taking prisoners!

I want one of those IV bags so I don't need to waste time chewing biting etc. I'd rather have the food injected into my body.

Having been on the receiving end of an IV bag on several occasions, I can report the downside: there are no taste buds in your arm. A '95 Ch Lynch-Bages might just as well be salty water.

Trust me, you REALLY don't need that.

I had to have my 'food' (Sustenance might be a better term) via a newly-drilled port in my guts. Curiously enough, I did get the idea of 'taste'; mostly through reflux, I may add. It was a while before I persuaded the Chemist to get me some 'different flavours' on my prescription; she was nonplussed; "But Sir, you cannot taste it".

So, trust me, Loquere, you really do not need your meals inserted by other than the mouth.

Maybe not then.

Taking it in the mouth is almost always the preferred method for most things in life.
