Simple but effective. Your timing was just right.

As she gazes into her mug is she thinking, "Is there a crack in my coffee mug?"    ;)

Crack is allowed in Ireland. Over here, it's called 'craic'. It's everywhere!

That's a crack shot.

Thanks all. This is one of the few times I haven't had to rush to complete the shot before the scene dissolved. Had to wait a while for the gal to raise that coffee cup.

p.s. Shame, shame, Rajan.

Why do you say that?

I was chiding you because I thought you were doing a pretty lame double entendre. If I was wrong, I apologize.

I did the same double entendre as Rajan, but I thought mine was a bit subtler (by the insertion of "a".)   ;)

Subtle, but misleading, Eric. It changed the subject.  :D

I love double entendres but in this instance it wasn't meant to be one.

Then I'll say thanks for the compliment

I don't get this shot at all. I'm not sure what I am meant to take from it. I have come back to it several times and I still don't understand it.

It seems to be a picture of a lady looking into a coffee cup.

Hi Mike, Maybe in the UK, as in Ireland, crack goes under a different name?

Nope I understand the crack (cocaine) reference, well I assume I do. Although I suppose maybe I am missing the whole point and it is pun type shot and I missed the crack that is the nub of the joke.

I would remark that you can't read all that sign so I'm not sure why crack isn't allowed.

I'm not good with humorous shots although it depends on the context.
