I remember what wringers were for and why the term “put through the wringer” meant...”your all WET”...another old term meaning your full of crap...
Well..in all do respect...if your not full of crap then why run you through the wringer?
Makes sense to me...

So do I, G_D how I came to hate Monday wash days. After hand cranking the bloody thing many a day, 60 years later I still have very strong and prejudiced feelings about all things that look like a manual wringer.
