As soon as I saw the thread “[Do you have a cobbler?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-have-a-cobbler/949048)”, about people who repair shoes, I knew eventually someone would post something about cobbler, as in the dessert.

I also was not disappointed.

Actually this could be expressed more generally as “Any time a thread title uses a word that can have multiple meanings, someone will post something using the wrong meaning as a joke.”

I got similar responses when I started a thread asking about smokers last year (as in smoking meat).

And now someone’s probably going to reply to this post with something about smoking meat like a cigarette.
