“Actually, baise mon cul = kiss my ass.”

Wrong! In this context, “baise” means “fuck”. A “baiser” (noun) is a kiss, but “baiser” (verb) is synonymous with “fuck”.

So you’d say “donnes-moi un baiser” (give me a kiss) and “baise-moi” (fuck me).

“Kiss my ass” would be “embrasse-moi le cul”.

Actually, baise mon cul = kiss my ass.

This is 20th century vintage, 1920s I’d bet. The combination of bobbed hair, rolled stockings, and that particular style of shoes just were not around before then.

Great – one correction:
The oil tank is filled with oil rendered from crabs (lice) – another crude joke.
And a label neat the top: Pneumatic mouth with moving tongue.
And, on the side: Free demonstration at our booth in the Grand Palais – household section.

I’ve just noticed that the bottom line was translated as “Warning: To avoid chafing by the main bit, do not use it more than twenty times per piece.” Mr 3 is right about it being “in a row” rather than “per piece,” but I wanted to add that the beginning is “to avoid overheating the main component,” not “to avoid chafing.”
