It's Monday, and I am all joked out. No humor here, so I am resorting to cheap Wikipedia stuff about John Titzling. This is both a desperate attempt to entertain the masses of followers to this journal, and to bring my daily views up with cheap double entendres... Here we go...From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Otto Titzling is a fictional character who is apocryphally described as the inventor of the brassiere in the 1971 book Bust-Up: The Uplifting Tale of Otto Titzling, published by MacDonald in London, and by Prentice-Hall in the USA. The name, a pun on "two-tit sling", was invented by cunning linguist Wallace Reyburn in the 1970s. Since then, the name has appeared in the game Trivial Pursuit (the makers of the game fell for the hoax, and listed "Otto Titzling" as the "correct answer" to the question of who invented the brassiere), the 1988 movie Beaches features a song names "Otto Titsling" sung by Bette Midler, the comic strip Luann by Greg Evans (no relation), and has appeared in practice questions sent out to prospective teams by the BBC2 show University Challenge. A similar situation exists with Thomas Crapper, who was a real plumber but did not invent the flush toilet. Tune in tomorrow for more about Mr. Crapper!
Okay, where were we. Oh yes, it is Monday, and true to its' reputation, it was a Monday. BUT, on the brighter side, I have a relatively open calendar for the rest of the week. It challenges ones imagination to see how I can screw this one up, but I will not rest until I find the answer.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, CHEAP TRICKS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
