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

Could I borrow...... some of your people skills? I suffer from rage when attempting to explain technical concepts to those less intellectually fortunate. Recently, after being given the incredulously silent, confused treatment again, I resorted to explaining that, 'the magic box that controls your robots had been awake for too long and got confused. I put it to sleep and woke it up again in the morning'.
I now have a person whose sole job is to work as my 'customer interface'.
Marvellous.
EDIT: The actual problem was that the vendor-unsupported Oracle database SQL buffer suffered failure when the shared memory buffer in the SGA reached maximum capacity due to fractured RAM structures, as a direct result of 18 months of straight database operation with no ASMM nor maintenance windows. But how do you explain that to someone who barely knows how to switch on their PC?
