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?

Not exactly on topicbut near enough.
I used to go out with a girl (Sally) who's Mother had a sometimes embarrassing, sometimes hilarious way of mangling the spoken word; specifically, on this occasion, a euphemism.
This was early on... second or third date with Sally, I think. She was having trouble deciding what to wear and left me with Mum to make awkward conversation, appearing every few minutes with a different outfit on. Having failed to receive the enthusiastic and unequivocal approval of both her Mum and me, she went completely tonto and screamed her way upstairs. An early warning signal... but I digress.
Her Mum and me sat in a heavy silence after Sally's outburst until the old dear leaned towards me conspiratorially and said in a hushed voice,
"Sorry about that, she's got the builders in."
"Err... what?"
Mum stuffs the sleeve of her cardigan into her mouth... "no - the decorators!" she gasped, "don't tell her I said that!"
I couldn't stop laughing all evening, which was awkward 'cos we went to see Schindler's List*.
*This bit for comic effect.
