retread
(3,762 posts)"Red Skelton once performed a bit before a live television audience in which a female volunteer placed her hand into his pocket to retrieve something. At one point, the latter remarked that she "felt silly" doing this. "Go any deeper," Red replied, "and you will feel nuts!"

(20,599 posts)They got away with raunchy humor back then that would never be aired today.
Then there's "Are You Being Served?" (from the same time period) and Mrs. Slocombe's pussy.
Subtle? The "dirty" humor from the 1970s is as subtle as a brick to the head!

(10,558 posts)"My Dear Damien, Thank you so much for trying to get rid of this silly prank on my behalf. I cant say that I am angry at my many wonderful fans for distributing the story, but I am disturbed, because of its content, that it has become such a sensation. I enjoy a blue joke as much as the next person, but this one goes a bit beyond where I would step professionally. Thank you. Youre a sweetie. Hugs and Kisses, Betty. "

TreasonousBastard
(43,049 posts)the first I saw anything of the sort was when Rabelais suggested, in Gargantua and Pantagruel, that castle walls should be made from vaginas because they take a better pounding than stone.
And no doubt he stole it from some earlier Greek and Roman, writers.

(5,103 posts)That's why we have so many other words for the evil vagina!
Notice that women never have a problem using anatomically correct language. Men blush, giggle and call it a "Whoo Ha"?? WTF!
Just another reason why men are unqualified to pass any legislation regarding womens health.

(27,985 posts)I agree. If you can't say the blessed word, you have no business with my vagina or its health.
4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)That's true, where no one refers to a penis as anything other than a penis.
There are literally no other words in our language that could be used to refer to the penis. Only the vagina get's this treatment.
Also your post as it stands is extremely sexist. You may want to amend that to "some" men never grow up.
I could cite ditzy women all day long as "proof" that women are stupid and have no place in government but . . . well actually no I couldn't. Those posts would be removed immediately and I would be banned from this site.
Occulus
(20,599 posts)Well, that's not true. There are several.
4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)/I was responding to the notion that there is something inherently flawed in men because we have so many words for vagina. I would argue that there are at least as many if not more for penis.

He tells it around the 1:30 mark.
