    Codpiece: I hope you are ready for this Ninnie...A codpiece (from Middle English cod, "scrotum") is a covering flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers and usually accentuates the genital area. It was held closed by string ties, buttons, or other methods. It was an important item of European clothing in the 15th and 16th centuries, and is still worn today in performance costume and in the leather subculture.

    Grandad was right, Ninnie, but you did ask! Now you know why I said: 'I loved this one K. Nearly choked on my tea! Uggghhhh the mere thought'

    We had lots of giggles when we studied Shakespeare in HS and asked some questions and our Wonderful English teacher, Mr. Vail, told us this information! :?

    In Tucson, we have signs that amuse visitors to our desert - 'Do Not Enter When Flooded.'

    When it rains, it FLOODS! Just below the surface of the desert, we have CALICHE, and NOTHING, not even cactus roots, penetrate it.

    Great list!
    One of my favorite signs, I saw while driving across Texas a few years ago. It was painted on the, um can't think of the right word - part of the roof that hangs down & covers the eaves? Anyway, it said:

    "DIESEL FRIED CHICKEN"

    I almost drove off the road laughing!
