I read a short piece recently that discussed the fashion for women to go clubbing wearing T-shirts with extremely rude slogans. Things like “Your Bloke’s Had Me”, and other charming messages.
Among others, the writer says –
There are warnings to males, such as “You Better Not Lie – I Carry a Ruler”.
I did a double take, I admit. Is threatening men with spanking really that popular?
It only occurred to me after a minute that they probably meant it completely differently. As in, um, measuring things.
I like my interpretation more.
I like yours better, too. It took me a minute to think what the vanilla interpretation was. Especially since I just purchased a pair of wooden rulers yesterday. (There are no accidents!)
I think “I carry a tape measure” would have been unambiguous. And unfunny.

Yeah, a tape measure just doesn’t have the same spanking potential, does it?
I suppose, you can snap people with it.
Hermione – I love the fact that you, like I, had to pause to realise that there was in fact a vanilla (albeit rude) interpretation!
But why do you need a *pair* of wooden rulers? The mind boggles!
Me too, didn’t have a clue what the vanilla meaning was for a good few minutes
I’m really glad I’m not the only one who didn’t get the non-spanking message…
It’s official: this blog is written and read by complete innocents.
(Or perverts. Wonder which it is.)
I’ve never been a fan of slogans on t-shirts, but after the discussion about possible spanking-related slogans I might just change my mind… Wouldn’t it be good to have a slogan on your shirt that vanilla’s wouldn’t get or find funny? You’d know immediately who of the people passing by would be fellow spanko’s, because they would probably be the only ones who look interested, or start laughing. T-shirts: spanking contact ads for the next generation…
I have a shirt, given to me by a friend, that says: “Just because I like to get tied up and spanked doesn’t make me a bad feminist.”
It’s not subtle, but it does get the point across!
Very cute shirts.
My favorite of the ones I saw on elevators at SL was one that read: “You had me at ‘Hell No'”
Why 2 rulers? Twice as nice!
No, honestly, they came two in a package. So now I have one for home and one for the office.
LOL and are you hoping to get spanked with them in both locations, Hermione, or will you just gaze wistfully at the office one thinking about more entertaining times at home?!
