I remember Ernie’s hanky. Ernie was a messenger, a salt of the earth, a diamond geezer. He used to squeeze his handkerchief from outside his trouser pocket so it appeared as if he was holding a rather large penis. Everyone laughed. No one was offended. It was a joke. I’ve used the joke myself, I’m sure, but only with close friends! And that would be when I used hankies rather than tissues, which is a long time ago.
