Hyper-literal humour I keep coming up with

Maja

- My local bus service has an advertisement currently running that basically reads "kids travel free all August"

*I need to check if there's a limit on the number of young goats I can bring with me on a given journey. 

- Outside an opticians, they've a sign that states: "free eye test with purchase".

*Does the purchase need to be from this company?

*I'd like to buy a lens cleaning cloth please... And may I book the free eye test?

*(If it turns out there's a minimum £££): I'd like to buy these £300 designer frames please, and have my free eye test. ... I'd like a refund on these frames please"

  • Just remembered one from the Dragon Ball mangas

    "Where are the balls hidden?" "Perhaps between that man's legs, sir" Laughing

    (of course, he actually meant the Dragon Balls)

    Haha, if I remember rightly Goku's first instinct upon meeting Bulma in the anime is to ask her if the balls are hidden under her skirt unless I'm misremembering.

    Yes, that was also in the manga too. The anime is pretty much shot for shot for the manga aside from filler.

    The context behind that is that it's kind of a normal thing at least in some asian communities for young children to sleep on or near their parents or caregiver's crotch areas for warmth. Goku had never seen a girl before and assumed they also had certain parts there and became confused when he found he was wrong lol

    of course, this leads to another exchange which also pretty much has the same joke of confusing the Dragon Balls with testicles lol
