I don't know how we got them -- Dad sure didn't buy them -- but there were a number of books about WWII in the house when I was a kid. I remember The Raft and 70,000 to 1. Both of those mentioned Mae Wests.

Wow! They're both still available!

Add some forehead slaps and that was me in my living room, verbatim. I can understand not being able to recall these things, but to have never heard of them to begin with? /shakes head/

At least she was on the right side of the country.

Another loss on a Canadian question.

There you go again, being too nice, living up to the stereotype. I think you have it backwards. If any apologies are appropriate, it would be to the Canadians, not from the Canadians.

Well, I must say that was fairly pathetic.
