Naked Boobs and other not so obscene disappointments!

Dali Atomicus (1948) by Halsman
The above photo is a reproduction of a famous photograph that features Salavador Dali jumping in the air. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this print! I saw an article about it online and as soon as I saw it I knew I needed to buy the print. I discovered allposters.com and I took a deep breath and spent $100 for a framed version. I've had it in my house for the last seven years and I have never been bored by it. When I was upgraded to an office last November I knew it was the one item that I wanted to transition from my house to work.
The print has been hanging in my office for the last five month and it has generated a positive response.  People often stop by and ask me about it and the recognize Dali. On Wednesday it's peaceful existence ended and I was asked to take it down. Apparently, there are two sets of naked boobs in this print. Stop now and find both of them!

Did you find them? Apparently, someone at work saw the naked boobs got upset and complained to HR. They were offended by the boobs. Then my boss had to give me a talk. He walked into my office and stared at the print for at least five minutes before he spoke. While he was standing there I just kept working  and briefly wondered what he was doing but I knew he would eventually speak. When he found the boob problem he shut my door and told me I had to take it home while laughing heartily.

I was in trouble but not serious trouble and the boss found it funny but I still had to take it home. I was bummed that the one thing that said something about me in my office had to be removed.
