You don't know how funny that sounds in England ... !! :-)

Sounds funny here too - although the reference is archaic it's not one
that goes unnoticed. Poster's remarks were rife with other structure,
grammar and punctuation errors.

There's some interesting linguisic things coming up this week ! I didn't
realise that you used the word "drawers" to mean anything other than its
basic over there, or that the American sense of humour made use of inuendo
or double entendre. Watching American comedy shows over here, and having
visited many times, I'd always thought that your humour was pretty
straightforward. Learn something new every day ! Did you see the reply to
your question about "going down a storm" ?

99% of American TV shows are dumbed down to about the third-grade toilet
humor level. Pathetic. Innuendo, double entendre are still very much
alive amongst the few people here who are still intelligent enough to
understand subtlety and sophisticated humor. Mine tends to the bone dry
side and I often get blank stares from people. Seems if you're not
laughing at your own joke, others are too stupid to figure out that it
*is* a joke. I think I often offend people on usenet because I refuse to
append the smiley emoticon to my witticisms, and they're too
weak-brained to discern the humor, instead taking offense.

I'll be getting to the other topic presently.
