Talk:Banana messenger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I rode a train in 1961 from the midwest to Utah and noticed the restrictions that certain tickets - clergy, etc etc - banana messenger were not valid on the train. I have no financial or other interest in any company selling youth clothing or supplies. I just think it is neat to track how usages change. In the last few decades I have seen kids wearing sweatshirts or T-shirts saying "loose lips sink ships" - a WW II slogan against gossiping about troop movements - enemy spies could in principle gain an advantage. No one wearing such a shirt and with whom I struck up a conversation had any idea of the provenance of the slogan. See [1]. I think it's nice to make names and slogans traceable, that's all. Suggest you let it be. Carrionluggage 05:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
