Re: Iron underpants



It doth seem that mine simple attempt at a jest hast offended many a brave 
soul. My apologies my lords.

My father served in the first World War, enlisting not once but three 
times. Severely underage and sprung just before being shipped to 
Gallipolli, second time he went to France and was discharged medically 
unfit after service there and then tried again after returning home. My 
husband served in the Interim Army and was a Japanese linguist, hearing 
things that no young man of 18-9 should have had to translate in Court.

I have nothing but respect for people who served their country, but iron 
underpants are the equivalent of those chastity belts from that time also. 
When did the saying " love laughs at locksmiths originate. " ?
