Have been watching a few of the carry on films lately, and was wondering what's the best euphemism or double entendre that you have heard or seen.
I'll start it off.....

I was watching Carry On Follow That Camel, and there was a reference to a belly dancer's bra resembling kitchen bowls. 'Back home we keep dumplings in them' to which Phil Silvers says 'They're used for the same thing over here'.
Not the best double entendre, but the most recent!

The music halls seemed to provide many of them for straight-laced Victorians such as...
'She sits among the cabbages and peas'
Kenneth Williams sings 'The Marrow Song. (Oh What A Beauty!)
And finally one of the most famous sporting ones. If someone can find the original TMS commentary, that would be great...

When I was a lad I recall my dad telling me about music hall comic and “cheeky chappie” Max Miller, who was well known for his risqué, blue humour. Double entendres such as the one below (a gem!) earned him a ban from the BBC from 1932 to 1937.
“I was walking along this narrow mountain pass – so narrow that nobody else could pass you, when I saw a beautiful blonde walking towards me. A beautiful blonde with not a stitch on, yes, not a stitch on. Cor blimey, I didn’t know whether to toss myself off or block her passage.”

Lurcio: [after Cassandra's prophecy; to the camera] Oh, she's very embittered, you know. Very embittered. You've seen the ring she had on? Well, allegedly, that was given to her by her fiancé when she was eighteen, and he jilted her, and she hasn't had it off since! Poor dear!

It's understood, she's taken it hard.

It's generally accepted now (I believe) that this one never happened. Sorry.

When I were a lad I used to listen to round the Horne and beyond our Ken and other things with Kenneth Horne. I used to think they were funny, but listening to them now I realis that the vast majority of it was going straight over my head - Kenneth Williams as Rambling Sid Rumpo or Williams and Hugh Paddick in the "Hello, I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy" stuff - quite brilliant and full of double entendre, and how they got away with it in the 1960s is beyond me.
