As the late Terry Pratchett once said, the problem with a double entendre is they only ever really mean one thing. I have always loved double meanings, there is something saucy about it, naughty rather than rude. An example is given by Craig Ferguson “I don’t just like sexual double entendres I love them, I stroke them, I milk them, I spank them when they’re naughty.”
I have talked about radio in the past and this may not mean a lot to an American audience. You might think it is silly or downright stupid but I have been listening to this show for getting on got 40 years and every episode fills me with joy. The show is called I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue.
I have seen signs like this most of my life at places like Disney or other amusement parks. It never fails to make me think of a naughty alternative to a simple warning about getting your clothes wet. I guarantee once you tune in you will see them everywhere. Slippery when wet. Extremely hot. Ride at your own risk. Enter at your own risk. There is an announcement at our local supermarket that announces to the store, “there is an arrival at the back door, please attend” never fails to amuse me.
Rest assured if you ever find that you need a double entendre, I will always give you one!
As always
