They were more worried about DNA testing from the ***** stains.

WW2 though, DNA profiling, "genetc fingerprinting" wasn't available then. The two people who are credited with developing the technique weren't even born around that time.

Well someday you may find your children if you're lucky to reproduce sewing labels in all your garments after you're place in a nursing home. I found a ribbon of them with my grandmother's name, among my mom's sewing supplies, from back when she was in a nursing home.

I've had hotels do my laundry before. They always come back with tags in the pants and on the shirts. I'd occasionally forget to remove them, and half way through the work day feel something odd scratching the back of my neck or poking me in the side.

It'd be a little green tag with my last name and room number. I hate them so much.

Nexa,

So let me get this straight; you were negligent in properly clothing your child, whatever the excuse may be, and the teachers aid rudely brings this to your attention and your response is to rail at the aid and cause her as much grief as you possibly can?

Didn't I see this scene in it's a wonderful life? So when does Smashed start cursing the teacher on the phone?

Not... exactly. The child was properly clothed, there was wasn't a spare pair of under garments at the preschool. That's a bit of a difference.

Neither did they. I think the idea was more that it shouldn't be obvious the clothing in question was made in the UK. Again, let me repeat it was a myth, ie: something that did not actually occur.

The term was widely used by the Jimmy McJockos for decades if not centuries. Maybe when the Commandos fought alongside the Scots, they stole and americanised the term , like they did with our wimminz?

That seems plausible. An englishwomen seeing an erect ***** while not in a room full of naked men would likely do almost anything.

Hmmm, I think I need to visit England.

And not every Englishman would come in his pants from killing an enemy, either, but the joke works better when you don't look too closely.
