Ben Stein's "Words That Sound Dirty, But Aren't"

I was a 4-Her in high school and we had a national level horse quiz bowl team (I know, NERD!!). So during the “tryouts” for the team, my leader asked me “What is Mastication?” She had a great sense of humor, so when I didn’t know, she said “It’s something your mother told you never to do”.

Of course it means nothing of the sort, but I still get a good laugh out of that.

My mother told me it’s something you have to do 30 times before swallowing.

Are you thinking of Ben Stiller? This doesn’t sound like a Ben Stein topic.

Thanks Tim, but it was definitely Ben Stein. In his very dry, very droll mode (like the teacher in Ferris Bueller).

Think of Ben Stein staring into the camera, perfectly deadpan, clearly enunciating “frigate”.

Thanks everyone !!

In many pizza shops, you’ll see an oven with a great big label on the front. It says BLODGETT.

A Foxworthy redneck joke: If you think a Volvo is a part of a woman’s anatomy…

Accompanied by a cartoon of a redneck husband saying to his wife “You paid five hunnert dollars fer a used WHAT?”
