Gussies Grips' Grandfather. Door to door merkin salesman.

Popped up on my FB feed.
I'm gonna pretend this is an ancestor of Elaine Miller's.
Fair play he appears to believe in his product enough to wear one himself.

🤣

One? He appears to be wearing at least three of them!

Unless- is that how he manufactures them? 😳

😂😂😂 that’s cheered me up!

A travelling merkin salesman!

Those Victorians liked a full bush, didn't they? Those'd keep the rain off your feet.

He's got a brush in his hand. Gotta assume it's part of the sales pitch.
Here, try one on. I'll just brush it into place for you.

Stop it all of you, can’t stop laughing here🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

oh jesus 🤣

Maybe it's a styling aid?

"Madam, this season ladies are wearing their merkins with a parting to the left."

Maybe this is how door to door vacuum salesman started?
Natural evolution from the brush.
They travel together. Merkin salesman fits it, vacuum salesman gives it the quick once over to make it look good and hoover up all the crumbs that got caught in the merkin.

...and hoover up all the crumbs that got caught in the merkin.

I find giving them a good bash against the wall gets the Tunnocks wafer crumbs out.

I count 4 😂

Well I am so relieved I don’t have shares in the Tunnocks company, because the thought of an innocent Tunnocks being used as a sex toy to a merkin wearer will mean the shares will be worthless tomorrow morning.

Who mentions sex toys? Tunnocks are consumed while doing nothing more exotic than lying on the sofa watching re-runs of Hustle in this house!

"Tunnock" and "Merkin" . . . made for each other! 😂

"I'm off down the Tunnock & Merkin for a swift half and a pickled egg".

"Merkin Tunnock was a sad little man but kind and thoughtful in his own way. Unable to bear the thought of harming even the slugs that attacked his beloved Hostas, he would seal them gently in Tupperware coffins, depositing them in the freezer every Thursday on his return home from Billiards."

"Mellow as a merkin's hatstand, he planted a tentative kiss on her trembling tunnock."

😂🤣

Apart from John Ruskin, who was supposed to have been traumatised on his wedding night by discovering that women had pubic hair! (I know it's probably not true, sounds like the man had issues though).

"I'm off down the Tunnock & Merkin for a swift half and a pickled egg".

That's an even better name than The Bluestocking for a TERF pub. @Boiledbeetle?

To be fair, those on display are a fairly, erm, substantial muff and would startle many an unsuspecting Victorian gentleman...

Anyone want to join me for a quick one?

@Boiledbeetle
That's utterly splendid :)

The pub does a stand up comedy night.

I see Elaine is doing a funny turn.

Or having a funny turn I'm not sure!

Another bride, another June, Another sunny honeymoon, Another season, another reason For merkin whoopee...

Baby, when I think about you, I think about looo-ooo-oove
Darlin', I don't live without you and your looooo-ooo-ooove
If I had, those golden dreams of my yesterday (Yesterday)
I would wrap you, in their heaven, but they lay dying (Dying, dying) on the way

[Chorus]
Feel like merkin
Feel like merkin love

I'll have a pint of Old Muff with a Tunnocks Wafer chaser, thanks!

I was a bit apprehensive about opening this thread, it didn't sound very appealing, but I'm so glad I did, you are a funny bunch, you are😂

Thanks for the 'merkin whoopie' earworm, Arabella😠
