It's good for your eyes
I work for the world's top tele merchant - which I'm sure I can't name!
One day during a painfully dull hour of craft, we took a caller to try to liven things up a bit. This idea MASSIVELY backfired when, as our 'craft expert' was demoing a technique on how to make new bits of paper look old by soaking it in tea, the elderly caller began to tell us about how she was housebound and had recently become widowed.

Trying to stealthily move the subject back to the show, our flustered presenter quickly asked her "so... have you ever tried teabagging?"
Everybody in the gallery paused for half a second then exploded with laughter over talkback (and thus into his ear) but somehow he managed to keep a relatively straight face. It's possibly the best thing I've ever heard an old woman asked on daytime TV but I'm sure we're all going to hell for it!
