And as a odd aside. A local coffee house chain has changed their name from "Beaners" to avoid offending Hispanics.

This has been today's useless fact.

I just realized...Work clothes worn on oil rigs are commonly referred to as "greasers".

Laundramats here have designated machines solely for the use of people washing such work clothes so people won't throw their kid's knickers in there and have them come out less squeaky clean than they might expect.

The signs designating those machines read "Greasers only".

I reckon some idiot will take umbrage sooner or later...
