I remember (distantly) when the birth control pill was introduced here in the Colonies and a joke circulated to the effect that aspirin had been shown to be an effective method of birth control ... when held tightly between the knees.
Where's Jackie?

Heh--I started that one!  I actually did tell that to a young mother one time. Unfortunately, her IQ was too low for her to do any more than look quizzical and say, "Huh?"

Thanks, TEd.

>>Between the knees:
Three months later, the woman returned to the Dr., pregnant. When questioned, she said, "I did just like you told me; I put an aspirin between his knees..."

"I did just you told me; I put an aspirin between his knees..."
And you wonder why your new electric mixer comes with the little brochure which includes warnings like "Don't use this product while sitting in a bathtub filled with water" and "Do not use mixer to combine flammable and/or explosive liquids."

Why, would that work?

As a consumer, I used to mock the many, apparently silly warnings that come with new products -- the ones telling you not to use oven cleaner to wash your hair or not to mount your stereo speakers in the shower -- until, as an attorney, I realised that every one of those warnings represents a lawsuit filed somewhere sometime by someone who did quite precisely what the warning is warning against.

May I also deliver you from evil?

No, thank you; this evil has already occurred, and not of my doing. But thanks for the reminder--it has helped me resist temptation.

But if he led us into temptation he should deliver us not from evil.
