The thread is about Aunt Flo… coming to collect the monthly rent, if u know wat I k.

Someone said any woman can have this occur off schedule at times.

Another replied “try telling that to Mussolini’s wife.”

Mussolini ruled Italy with an iron, fascist fist and is alleged to have made the Italian trains run on schedule.

Never mind - it means **hotblonde18** is a man, baby.

What’s not to get? Let’s review the joke:

> [@runner pat](#):
>
> Even the most regular woman can have a period occur off schedule.
> 
> > [@Sicks\_Ate](#):
> >
> > Try telling that to Mussolini’s wife.

Any time Mussolini is used in a joke, it’s to refer to things running on time or being made to run on time. There really is no other humorous purpose for invoking the name.

In this joke, **Sicks Ate** is playing upon this well-known Mussolini trait to imply that his wife, the most regular woman, could never, in fact, have a period off schedule.

So, **hotblonde18** , we’re all dying to know how your Saturday night went. I’m sure you’re keeping an eye on this thread and will stop in soon to fill us in.

In the unlikely event that we don’t hear from you again, I think the only logical conclusion will be a murder/suicide brought about by your boyfriend’s aversion to your monthly visitor.

Well, some guys are like that. Some guys are, like, if she says one more goddam word to me about the “patriarchy”, I’m gonna go totally stabby and berserk and…well, some guys are like that.

Well, she hasn’t been heard from since Saturday night (6/16). I think she’s in the purification hut and probably won’t be back until this weekend.

I know. He never says whether this joke refers to Ida Dalser Mussolini or Rachele Guidi Mussolini. And that changes the whole meaning of the joke.
