english mailmen attacked by cougars?
« on: October 09, 2009, 09:45:01 AM »
looking at David Silver Spares site for parts, saw this warning across the top of the page:

"Wild cat strikes are affecting royal mail deliveries. expect delays on small orders"

I thought- wow I didn't know there were cougars in England. and they're killing mailmen?

looked it up- company called wildcat is on strike. :D ;D :D ;D ;)

Funny. 

I had a different thought when I read the thread title.  "Cougar" is a word for an older woman that dates younger men (don't know where it came from though...).  I pictured older women seducing the mailmen.   :D

I hate to disillusion you all but wildcat in this case refers to unautorized strikes by union members.

Without straying far from ambiguousness. I will simply point out these are posts in the "humor" section.

Which definition of "Cougars" is better suited?

I'm sorry, but the thought of older women attacking young mail men for sex is high-larious.
