Kilroy Was Here Mug
An old graffiti that U.S. GI's would write on the walls of occupied areas.This was very popular During WW2 and the Korean war. This Legend of how "Kilroy was here" starts is with James J. Kilroy, a shipyard inspector during WWII. He chalked the words on bulkheads to show that he had been there and inspected the riveting in the newly constructed ship. To the troops in those ships, however, it was a complete mystery — all they knew for sure was that he had "been there first." As a joke, they began placing the graffiti wherever they (the US forces) landed or went, claiming it was already there when they arrived. Kilroy became the US super-GI who always got there first — wherever GI's went. It became a challenge to place the logo in the most unlikely places. It was said to be atop Mt. Everest, the Statue of Liberty, the underside of the Arch de Triumphe, and scrawled in the dust on the moon. An outhouse was built for the exclusive use of Truman, Stalin, and Churchill who were there for the Potsdam conference. The first person to use it was Stalin. He emerged and asked his aide (in Russian), "Who is Kilroy?" The Kilroy fad died some time in the 1960s, but can be still seen around the world.

This mug was a Father’s Day gift for my dad, and let me tell you, it is the greatest mug ever produced by humankind. Not only does it have a simple, minimalist design on it with my father’s name, but also the witty definition on the back that perfectly describes him. While he only uses the mug to hold his pens, I’m sure it would act perfectly fine with any sort of beverage in it as well. Urban Dictionary, let my just tell you that you have sent me the finest piece of art I could have possibly asked to hand over to my dad. Thank you, and I’m sure I’ll be purchasing another one of these fine crafted mugs some time soon. To whoever is reading this, have a nice day, and enjoy your summer.

why i want this mug i want this mug because I LOVE JUDE :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Great as a little joke gift! But a little on the pricey side for a coffee mug. If I didn’t love the person as much as I do, I would probably never spend that amount on a normal coffee cup.
It is perfect. I purchased the mug aa a gift and the recipient loved it!
It’s so good and can hold my coffee all day long !
My favorite mug ever
Small cup printing is well done.
It's perfect. Just what I thought I would be getting. Love the definition on one side and the "phrase" on the other.
