I don't know if this is from the Golden Era or not, but it sure is fun:

Anyone see anything like this before?

 

[Burton]

Never seen such a thing but I sure could have used such a device a time or two.

 

[Puzzicato]

What a brilliant idea!

 

[Dan'l]

Otis Campbell from the Andy Griffith show comes to mind. Not that he ever needed one...

 

[LocktownDog]

Fantastic!

 

[martinsantos]

Great!

...but my wife would kill me if I appear with one of this in home.

 

[cherry lips]

Hahaha! It's good to know I'm not alone.

 

[Effingham]

I'll take... um.... a dozen.

I've got some friends who could use a few.

I LOVE this. I might need to make some to go along with my "Betty Ford Clinic" cocktail napkins. Oh, when I had the napkins printed, the printer... She.... She judged...

Actually i have just lost a very dear old work colleague recently, Mr Peter Kitcat (yes his real name, Cornish in origin), we worked in central london together in an ad agency many years ago.

He was a great, old guy, one of the old school, wore a fedora, need i say more. Anyhow, we all use to go for drinks after work and we used to catch the same train together home, except his journey was about an hour longer than mine. As soon as we got on the train, he used to open his briefcase and take out a laminated sign which he used to tie round his neck with a piece of string which read, "I love my wife and value my marriage, please wake me up at .....station" I miss him dreadfully, he was a lovely man.

Sounds like a wonder of a man, Sofia. Wish I had known him. Terribly sorry for the loss.

 

[Miss sofia]

Yes he was a great guy, never pulled rank, used to greet every member of staff personally every morning and invite everyone to the pub. no matter how lowly their position. Always asked after staff's family, kid's that kind of thing and was genuinely interested. They have put a plaque up in the pub for him, mind you he was their best customer!

 

[Miss sofia]

And thank you Locktown Dog! xx

 

[martinsantos]

A fine story, Sofia!

 

[Miss sofia]

Thanks Martin, i'll stop rattling on now! It just tickled me when i saw this thread, it probably would have tickled him too! xx

I'll take... um.... a dozen.

I've got some friends who could use a few.

In this age of computers, printers, and Photoshop, you could easily make some.

One of the UK train operators (First Group I belive) gives out stickers with "Please wake me up at XXX station" during the Christmas party season.
