A Revelation

Regarding yesterday's issue: The gimlet with the lady pulling her boots on could have been to bore holes in leather straps for a good fit, e.g. straps that the sword hung from, etc.

Another Gimlet

The only gimlet that I have run across as of recent looks nothing like a corkscrew:

Vodka Gimlet

Shake with ice and strain into a glass.

Gimlets?

Wirtz, Virginia - The card below is entitled A Humorist in France: A Miscellaneous Market. Is the flea marketer selling a corkscrew or a gimlet?


Wirtz, Virginia - The Early Victorian Humour postcard below copy is: "Early Victorian Humour"

"How much longer are you agoin to be there, Betty?"

"I can't make no more haste, M'am. There's somethin' got into the what's-o'name and the thing-a-me-bog won't run into the what-ye call it!"

Nope, not a gimlet, she's pulled the tap out of the barrel.
