    Benny, George Burns, Groucho Marx, and so many others

    The church bulletin bloopers, which I've noted before, are
    a prime example of such.

    The bulletins may not use explicit dirty words, but they rely on
    sexual innuendo - and thus, they can seem dirty with our own
    minds.

    August,

    minds.

    It depends on where folks minds are. The perfect example would be
    in the tagline "Bowlers do it with 16 pound balls". <G>

    Seriously, the American Bowling Congress says that bowling balls
    can only weigh between 10 and 16 pounds...and there's also a set
    weight for the pins themselves...but that figure escapes me offhand.

    I enjoy a good innuendo every now and then.
    Nothing dirty or vulgar is really that funny, to me.
    So many so-called "comics" are not funny at all to me and don't waste my
    time on them.
    Gave me the wits of yesteryear. Groucho, WC Fields, Abbott and Costello,
    etc any day.

    Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham did a deal with Peanut in the style of
    Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First??". He changed the WiFi passwords,
    and Peanut couldn't figure them out.

    That's pretty good. I need to change my wifi password to "I cant remember".

    Or like the meme where the guy said he was going to change his password
    to INCORRECT, because he was always told "Your Password Is Incorrect". <G>
