I worked for Bldg 19, a New England surplus-salvage chain in the early 80s. "Free coffee--Slight Extra Charge For Use Of Company Stomach Pump"

Years ago they ran an ad for guinea pigs (or maybe for guinea pig food) and the artist drew a pic of the animal saying "Hey, Boss! I'm-a gettin' tired of the lasagna!" Bldg. 19 apologized to Italian-Americans (one of my fellow workers, who was Italian-American, was the one who complained.)

They're right, "wife beater" is the current preferred term. There are too many crybabies in the world today.

I guess New Englanders have lost their sense of humor.
