I have a funny poster story...
10yrs ago (so, not REALLY that long ago)... I was visiting a supplier at a major city in Canada... They are a machine shop, with absurdly large mills and lathes. So... If you are into the TV Show “How its made” this company would be very unique in their ability to work on LARGE things.
I‘m talking BIG metal work. BIG. It was really really really cool to see.
Anyway, posters...
While walking the shop floor, I noticed there were naked women posters - EVERYWHERE on toolboxes, above work benches... It looked like each millwright decorated his area with his centerfold posters.
There had to be 50 millwrights working there - Including PLENTY of women, including female millwrights.
It was like going back into the 50’s or something where that sort of thing didn’t bother people. Somehow this company kept the females onside with this. Maybe there were nude men posters at their work areas... lol... I didnt notice.
Can you believe this?
I was blown away by the lathes and mills... but I equally share this story.
