Should have known that Merry would beat me to it!!

It is indeed Tripe Dresser....and I don't know what is so funny! Several of my ancestors were Tripe Dressers. Large family of butchers, I come from!

[frostbarter]

Thank you very much, that is just what I wanted it to be, I just couldn't see it lol. He was a calf foot dresser in an earlier census lol.

Only funny because most people don't seem to like tripe!

I too come from a line of butchers, back to 1803 and maybe beyond that, I don't know!!

....Was just joking, Merry...honest! LOL!!
I can't stand tripe, either!! And can't think of anything worse than preparing it and semi cooking it for a living!! Yuk!!

[frostbarter]

LOL, did he go up in the world, is a tripe dresser better than a calf foot dresser.

I suppose people with ordinary jobs still have "personal odour" to contend with :D, but tripe dressers, butchers, anything to do with fish, leather curers etc etc etc....yuk!! lol
