EDITORS COMMENTS
A delightful comic postcard from the 20th century capturing a humorous moment of misunderstanding between a deaf old man and a pretty young woman. The scene unfolds as the elderly gentleman, equipped with a hearing aid and a walking stick, approaches a picnic area where the young woman is sitting with a group of friends. With a quizzical expression on his face, the old man points to the young woman and asks, "What are those picknickers wearing?" The young woman, amused by his question, replies, "They're not wearing picknickers, sir. They're just wearing regular knickers." The old man, not fully grasping the situation, looks puzzled for a moment before asking, "Double meaning?" The young woman, unable to contain her laughter, explains, "No, sir, it's just an underwear term. They're wearing underpants." The old man, still trying to make sense of it all, nods and smiles, clearly pleased with the explanation. The young woman and her friends can't help but chuckle at the old man's misunderstanding, making for a lighthearted and fun moment. This charming comic postcard, reminiscent of the classic British humour of Donald McGill, captures the essence of human connection and the joy of a good-natured misunderstanding.
