Leslie Nielsen says “Thats a honey of an ankle bracelet.”

Priscilla Presley responds with “Oh,did that slip down there again?”

I can imagine where it was but I don’t get it,what am I missing?

I think you’re trying to read too much into it… it’s just a silly joke. The bracelet was on her wrist but somehow ended up on her ankle… is it because the bracelet is broken? Is it because her body is so nice and thin that it slipped down there? It’s just a nice little non sequitur.

I assumed that it was a garter; started up on her thigh, then slipped down to her ankle.

I always thought the gag was the that “bracelet” was supposed to be inside her lady bits in some nebulously improbable way.

That reading is funnier to me than its being a garter, simply higher up on her leg than the ankle.

Heh. It’s a joke that might be funnier today than when it was written, what with the invention of the [NuvaRing](http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/index.asp) and all…

Maybe the nice beaver dropped it.

Right. . .maybe lady bits, or garter, but really just something nebulous meant to be taken as vaguely dirty, no further explanation needed.

and **lieu**. . .haw haw. When I did a mouse over on the thread, I thought that maybe the OP had gotten an “edited for TV” version of the beaver joke.

When I saw it on TV, he just says, “Nice one.” It completely ruins the joke.

Some women have labial piercings that include decorative chains, sort of a feminine version of a Prince Albert. I always thougt the joke was referring to that.
