A Risqué Name
The Ragtag Daily Prompt and Fandango’s prompt for FOWC came together serendipitously for me today.
And yes, I am known by this name. That’s the name many people have in the phonebooks. And they call me that name, too, although often only Knicker or Knickers.

When I saw this sign at the entrance of an old inn I was wondering about the meaning of it.
An old fashioned beer mug. That’s self-explanatory.
Hearts, Diamonds, spades, and clubs. I have placed a few games of Skat in my youth, so I understand that as well.
A Star of David – here it unravels. What does it have to do with an inn?
That’s where research comes in. The hexagram may look like a Star of David but it is the symbol of the Guild of Brewers. And that makes sense, naturally.
