Puts me in mind of the prank photo of Carry Nation. She was in a group of fraternity(?) boys that were pretending to be a temperance group. They posed for a picture, killed the lights for a flash photo, and in the darkness, took out flasks, and glasses of beer and were drinking and toasting behind Nation when the pic was snapped. With Joe, you can do it in the light of day.

That would be this day in DKE History: November 28,1902 when a number of Dekes in the “Jolly Eight” drinking club at Yale University posed for this photo with Carrie Nation (1846-1911).
