Unusual postcard

This one is for Peopletwitcher, postcard writer and correspondent extraordinaire! This postcard comes with a story. It is hardly the view you would expect on a card. It was given to a young woman 40 years ago by a man who was trying to get his leg overchat her up and pestered her for much of the flight, plying her with champagne and sweet talk. It turned out he was a Monopoly salesman who travelled the world and was often asked for postcards. As a joke he decided to have his own made and this is the photo he chose. The young woman was given this as a sort of calling card. His actual business card was a 'Get out of Jail free' card! His efforts, I have to report, were wasted.
