Commenter Memories Number 172- Mama M's wedding night

The women from the old country wanted to be sure you were  a virgin on your wedding night.

It was no problem.

Pole-axed!

My favorite beer hall/restaurant when I lived in Zurich was nicknamed "Der Blutige Daumen" - The Bloody Thumb. No sign saying so -- just hearsay. We never knew why.

Someone popped a fucking cherry orchard!

Did she ask you to come in,
Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Did she ask you to come in,
Charming Billy?


Honestly, how does an old timey picture like this come to be??? And what is in the little square black box the woman is holding? Sharp Instruments? A Hankie and comb?

This one takes the cake and the cherry pie.

The box looks like a Kodak box camera - aptly named, eh? We had one when I was a yute - it was way obsolete even in the '50s, but it probably cost the old man 25 cents at the Goodwill, so that was our camera.

He later got a Leica which a neighbor brought back from Germany - that was a great camera. I have my own ideas about how the neighbor got it, how my father came to own it, but since it is now lost, I should probably lose the theories, too.

Worst of all, that mattress appears to be from a child's bed.

People were shorter back then.

They also coagulated less easily, apparently.

I think this is how they do it in Egypt.
