IanHenry Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Fascinating & amusing article from one of the British newspapers about an artefact found at the Roman fort of Vindolanda in Northern England in 1992. It seems the object is catalogued as a darning needle. It strikes me that whoever catalogued it either has a sense of humour or made a terrible choice of career 😁 It’s not a darning tool, it’s a very naughty toy: Roman dildo found | Archaeology | The Guardian It made me laugh.

DanvillRob Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'd think the catalog was an 'inside joke' (pardon the pun). When I was making service videos for large buses, we were showing how to remove an axle shaft. If you've ever removed an axle shaft from a truck/bus you have to beat it pretty hard for a pretty long time...with a sledge hammer. I had the narrator say, "...then gently tap the axle cap to loosen it from the hub..." Inside joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that kind of inside "joke" seems bawdy to you and those guys, I'm guessing your shower curtains must be a mess. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Or the one about a guy who finds the cheapest brothel in town only has an old woman with a glass eye who provides service by removing the eye and letting "Johns" do the empty socket. Amazed at how satisfying the experience was, he tells the old woman that the next time he's in town he'll come back for more. And she waves good-bye to him exclaiming, "I'll keep an eye out for ya!"

He foolishly blurts out "Wood Eye ? Wood Eye?" She leaves in a huff. I actually heard this joke like this: Teenager goes to a dance. He's very shy and just stands against the wall...mainly because he has a wooden eye and is self-conscious of it. After awhile, he notices a girl also standing against the wall on the other side of the gym who nobody asks to dance....because she has a noticeable cleft pallet. He works up the courage to go ask her dance....walks over and says to her, "Wanna dance?", to which she says, "Would I!".... he storms off shouting "Hair-Lip!"

fortyearspickn Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 When I heard it - it was 'hare lip' not 'hair lip'. (Get it - Homophone Humor: "Which witch will fill up the whole hole ?') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
