Threaded humor

But very funny...

The "nice threads" pun is

The "nice threads" pun is almost certainly contrary to Hine's intentions for this photo.

You mean there were no "good ol days"?

I had always believed that women were not commonly found in the workplace until WWII. They certainly outnumber the men here. (And just kidding about the good old days comment ladies.)

Beautiful

I don't know where you keep finding these sensational photos. This one is great. Look at all these handmade dresses!
