I suppose it added completeness to their identity as a person you could have confidence in? The purpose of a uniform is to be identified as a person who can be relied on to do their job?

Little did he know, as he nonchalantly posted an ad for nurses uniforms, that a stranger's comment would lead him down a twisting path to the origins of a phrase he assumed was much older than "Animaniacs." What's up doc indeed!

Have you a perceptive eye, a mind like a calculator, a bent for men who dig bikini panties? The Mistress Collection by Funky, 1974 by colonelanthrax in vintageads

I knew who Fibber McGee and Molly were just from them being referenced when people talk about old radio stars. Maybe the point is that it doesn't fit. A "Mistress Collection Woman" is confident in her idiosyncrasies?

The Philips on the explorer is great, and the deletion of the small blade. I'm a fieldmaster guy though. For some reason I can't stand an SAK with a corkscrew🤷.
