Aprons have been cooks’ companions for hundreds of years. Indeed, aprons were used by men and women for a variety of tasks long before they were seen on 1950s television. During this era, women were portrayed as homemakers and good mothers and you rarely saw them without their aprons. Some researchers point to Biblical references about aprons. They cite a passage in which Adam and Eve sewed together fig leaves to make aprons to cover themselves. We traditionally think of aprons being used for cooking, and while that is true, they have served as a cover-up for other tasks that tend to be messy. Occupations such as butchers, welders and bakers have always used aprons to protect both their clothing and bodies from their work.
For centuries, homemakers have used aprons. Even since the early 19th century, women have used aprons to keep their clothing clean.
They have also used aprons to carry essential utensils such as rolling pins, for gathering and carrying eggs and for transporting
kindling wood. Aprons have been an effective tool for many, many years. It was not until the 1940s and 1950s that society started
to see the stereotypes of the ""perfect mother"" who always wore an apron, no matter what. Until that time, aprons were thought of
as a functional piece of the wardrobe.
Today’s aprons are more stylish. Perhaps surprisingly, aprons have made a fashionable comeback, even making occasional runway appearances in the form of the apron dress. Aprons Info provides detailed information about various types of aprons, including humorous, personalized, child, cooking, and lead aprons, as well as apron sinks, and more.

DUMB MIKEY
One day, while a Mikey was out driving his car, he ran into a truck. The truck's driver made him pull over into a parking lot and get out of the car. He took a piece of chalk and drew a circle on the pavement. He told Mikey to stand in the middle and not leave the circle. Furious, he went over to Mikey’s car and slashed the tires.

Mikey started laughing. This made the man angrier so he smashed his windshield. This time Mikey laughed even harder. Livid, the man broke all his windows and keyed his car. Mikey is now laughing hysterically, so the truck driver asks him what's so funny. Mikey giggles and replies, "When you weren't looking, I stepped out of the circle three times!"
