Summer Tip For Cold Drinks

Who doesn't like drinking a cold, refreshing drink on a hot day? However, while the icy beverage is refreshing, the feeling at your fingertips may be unpleasant. The solution? Crochet cup holders. I would not have thought of it, but here they are. These are homemade and would be popular with the feminine gender in particular. There probably needs to be a styling reappraisal to get masculine types to use them.

My sister-in-law made them and did a fine of it too I hasten to add.

The Young Lodger

A Scottish couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire.

"Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out to darts," she said.

The girl agreed to have a bath the following Monday. After her husband had gone to the pub for his darts match, the woman filled the bath and watched the girl get undressed. She was surprised to see that the lass didn't have any pubic hair. She mentioned this to her husband when he came home. He didn’t believe her, so she said: "Next Monday, when you go to darts, leave a little early and wait in the back garden. I'll leave a gap in the curtains so you can see for yourself."

So the following Monday, while the girl again got undressed, the wife asked: "Do you shave?"

"No," replied the girl. "I've just never grown any hair down there. Do you have hair?"

"Oh, yes," said the woman, and she pulled up her nightdress and showed the girl that she was really generously endowed in the hair department.

The girl finished her bath and went to bed. Later that night, when the husband came in, the wife asked him, "Did you see it?"

"Yes," he said, "but why the hell did you have to show her yours?"

"Why are you worried about that?" she said. "You've seen it often enough before."

"I know," he said, "but my darts partner Derek hasn't!"

Back for more of the not very PC world of sexist adverts from a generation ago. These one start with a shopping hint, then a few around the house and finally a couple of car makers get into the sexist spirit.
