This sounds like something that Borat would come up with.

OUTRAGEOUS!

WHAT?????

Well, I've seen change in attitudes in my long life, but this is pretty illustrational of some fairly prevalent old attitudes.

I feel like me-as-Rosie should put in an appearance here -- 1943, that's what she was created for. To get all those women into the workforce.

Hope the guys who wrote this got lotsa fists in their faces...

Now, ladies, let's not get too fussy. Do you need a few minutes to powder your nose?

Well...I would feel less nervous if I could apply more lipstick.

Ha! This appeared at the bottom of another thread as "related." I missed it the first time. So relieved to see it was from the 1940's. Unbelievable now that those attitudes existed.

@squinney,
Feeling cantankerous and fuzzy today, are we hon? Your age acting up again? Your uniform a little tight upstairs? I'd use some strong language to straighten you out, but I don't want to upset you and ruin your efficiency.

Squinney . . . how is that you're a married woman, young and energetic, and obviously on the husky side . . . and yet you're cantankerous and fussy?

Me? Cantankerous and fussy?






(I dare you to take one step closer and call me fussy!)

@Thomas,
Knowing you, Thomas, and trying to picture you really saying that is what has me busting out of my uniform on top.

It was actually number 4 that had me wide eyed on the first read through.

@squinney,
Oh, number 4? That's called "playing doctor". Back in Germany we did that quite often as kids. No big deal. No reason to get your hysteric little brain all worried about it.

@Thomas,
That's just plain proof that squinney is too nervous to be employeed.

@Linkat,
Linkat, be a good girl and lend me a bobby pin please. I don’t get another break for twenty minutes and this one’s nearly over (wrings hands). I need to tidy my hair! I feel so inefficient!

Your hem is fine, Deary.

Anyone know what we are supposed to do when we return from our weekly check-ups with Dr. Thomas? I can't figure out what to do next and I don't want to bother management. I'm really nervous that I might get to my desk and waste a minute or two.

@squinney,
... which would make your work a total waste of lipstick.

@Joeblow,
I don't see any, but what do I know about cosmetics? I'm a man, see. Not the kind of being who would wash his hands, like, several times a day. If you know what I mean.

That nice doctor gave me a very long female exam.

He said I didnt have to pay for it either!

I passed with flying colors and didnt mess my hair.
