Incorrect source or offensive?

ah…proof readers were also rationed, it seems…
Typical Americans…always licking ass.
Erm–That’s a Tommy on that poster, and the term “Railway Office” is British (us “Merkins caqll ‘em “Railroad Stations”!)
So that’s a British or Commonwealth poster from WWI.
So it *is* typical….
But, the term “stores” is very Merkin. (It would be “shops” here.)
Plus, I’ve Googled extensively and haven’t come up with any evidence of a UK thrift stamp scheme. However, I did find accounts of a Canadian one.

I suppose if you *really* wanted to be thrifty, you’d have them licking your front and back at the same time…
No liquor in da front, poker in da rear!
Did people really have more innocent minds at the time, or was the maker an idiot?
Oh hell, people never had innocent minds. The maker is an idiot.
Perhaps it was an attempt at humor in a desperate time. The artist was pushing the boundaries to see what he could sneak past the censors?
Or the maker thought people would remember it and talk about it more if they included a double entendre. My parents were world war two generation and my grandparents world war one. None of them suffered from a more inocent mind than the adults of today
It’s Canadian
Just plain honest stamps…u dirty city folks read into it what u will…
