I’m rather fond of the story behind the “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster that’s become so prevalent in recent years – partly because of the sentiment, and partly because it owes its place in modern popular culture to its rediscovery by Barter Books in Alnwick, one of very favourite places.
So many variants of the poster now exist that I thought there must be an easy way to generate one’s own “Keep Calm” posters online – and, lo and behold, there is. So, here are a couple of my takes on the old classic:
I’d love to see your suggestions for versions of the slogan – and I’ll make up a poster with the best idea received in the comments and add it to the post!
How about: Keep Calm and Assume the Position
Keep calm and spank on
or
Keep calm and carry on spanking
The best I can think of is ‘Keep Calm – It’s only a cane!’
Keep calm-and just count to twelve.
Keep calm and offer your palm.
Keep calm and ask nicely
Keep calm and pray!
Keep calm and ask for another.
How about: Keep calm and bend over!
I still liked my Christmas card from Amy Hunter the best: SBend over and keep quiet 😉
