Accidental innuendoFreddy Woo writes, "A woman I used to work with once walked into a car workshop to get her windscreen replaced, and uttered the immortal line, "Have you seen the size of my crack?"
What innuendos have you accidentally walked into? Are you a 1970s Carry On film character?

This really was in the 70s...back when I was a wee nipper in primary school. Each day, while waiting for all the different classes to file into the hall for assembly, they'd put on a record (kids: a 'record' was a physical disc used to distribute music before the advent of teh 1nt0rw3b -- no, really) for us to listen to.
On this particular day, we were treated to a song about which I've forgotten everything save that it included the words, "on the breast of a wave". Naturally -- all of us being under the age of twelve and not possessing the mature and sophisticated sense of humour of those who, say, nowadays frequent b3ta -- we began to chuckle and titter amongst ourselves.
At this point, one of the (female) teachers turned to us and intoned,
"If you can't be quiet, we'll have to have it off!"
Oh, how we laughed.
