No one would know what you were talking about.


Perhaps one would have to be a certain age and have lived in or near a large city to remember elevator operators in department stores who would sound out what goods were offered on each floor as the elevator stopped. “Third floor, sporting goods, camping goods, outdoor wear”. But it is from a time long past now. (Except maybe for Japan, they still have elevator ladies in their depatos).

One of the big gifts that the Left grants to us is this tendency on their part to eat their own. One day you’re part of the PC mob, attacking others for this or that violation, and the next day, you’re the victim. There’s only one person on Earth who is immune, but nobody knows who it is. They would have to be on the “oppressed” side of every possible schism imaginable.

“All I’m saying is I never heard this gag.”

That isn’t what you said. Lol @ defending an untruth with an untruth.

Happy Thanksgiving!

” My mother want trying to get into the panties of anyone riding the elevator, she was making a freaking joke.”

Um...say what? Maybe some typos in that sentence?

Writing comedy skits 101

Elevators

A stock phrase associated with department store elevators, which in Real Life often emit a prerecording that lists the “departments” of the current floor. (In the days of live elevator operators, it was typically the operator’s job to do this.)

Typically the formula is two normal items and a plot relevant item, though this can be mixed up by having another mundane item after the plot-relevant item. The plot-relevant item is often jarringly discordant with the other mundane items.

Simona Sharoni, a professor of women’s and gender studies at Merrimack College in Massachusetts.

The Gender Studies takes less than a minute.
There are two things to understand - Innies and Outies.
When you've got that you've mastered the subject.

The Women's studies is different.

Understanding women is a whole different ball of wax!
No one has ever mastered that subject.

Simone Sharoni is an excellent example of why that is.

Taking everything as literal is a sign of mental illness.

O.K., you’ve already lost Barack and Moochelle and their followers.

These are very difficult concepts. For them, that is.

It Way predates that British show to the beginning of television; and Most people from then recognize it.

Being born in 1945 I can remember being in department stores that had elevator attendants who announce the items for sale on each as the elevator arrived at that floor. Invariably, it be something similar to: “Third floor, ladies’ lingerie, dresses, gowns, and beauty products” followed by “Fourth floor, mens’ haberdashery.”
When elevator attendants went away so did the announcements, they were replaced by a directory posted near the elevator.
Naturally, ‘50s comedians had many jokes with the, “Third floor, ladies lingerie.” as a punchline. The jokes were harmless and not in the least riske. I take that you might be rather young to never have heard the subject line spoken in jest.
Only a humourless, trouble-seeking, radical would take offense where none was intended.

The gag line is from American culture when elevators had human operators.

Many departments stores in the cities had elevators and one of the floors was womens' undergarments.

It was a running gag for years in elevators when the human operator would ask you, "What floor?" the laugh line was "Ladies lingerie, please".

It's an old joke and outdated for today's Marxist PC language and to those like yourself, who don't even know where the line came from.

The exact etiology I don't know but try watching a bunch of old B&W movies from the 30s and 40s and 50s and you'll eventually catch the line in a script.

Those old movies are what made the then-funny gag line popular.
