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?
Extra points for the inappropriateness of the context

Not me but one of my customers.I used to work with the public *shudder*
One of my more memorable customer was a very proper middle aged woman who came to the counter to ask for something.
She stood before me, resplendent in her twinset glory, and completely messed up what she was asking for. She pulled a face, and then exclaimed,
"Oh I'm sorry! I feel like I've had someone's tongue in me all day!"*
I bit my lip, and managed to serve her with a straight face. My counterpart, however, did not. He crouched on the floor behind the counter and started to silently laugh. I could see him out the corner of my eye, shoulders shaking and hand shoved in his mouth. Which made it even harder for me not to laugh. Alastair, the manager, fled to the dictionary section where he could be heard to guffaw loudly across the shop. Bunch of bastards.
However, I managed to finish the sale and send her on her merry way before collapsing behind the counter for ten minutes.
*Where I'm from at least there's a phrase that sounds not dissimilar, but it's more like, "I feel like I've got someone else's tongue"...
