That's pretty funny. Wonder how old that joke is?
I didn't know there was sex in the 1940s, I thought it was invented in the 70s...
My guess is that it probably doesn't predate automobiles.
I've never seen that particular phrase used in other legitimate situations.
Mopped floors have probably been around longer than cars
Shut up...bcz i don't have a counter argument!
I'm my experience, those signs say something like, "Caution: Wet Floor". You don't put up a sign saying "Slippery When Wet" for something that is only wet when you clean it.
