There’s got to be a way to turn this into a witty one-liner, but damned if I can think of it.
I’m postulating a soft-core porn magazine. It would be for sailors. Who like butts. And have a thing for Catholic female authority figures. It would be called “Nuns and Cans.”
I’m really confused. I would think that “cans” would refer to a woman’s chest, not her behind. Unless “cans” is supposed to be a slang reference to a navy destroyer. But in either case, the title doesn’t seem to encompass either butts or sailors. I also wonder whether many sailors actually have a thing for nuns, but that’s not something I’m going to actually think about.
I think if you cut out one of the elements of the concept, we’d have better ideas. As it is, it’s pretty hard to link together the U.S. Navy, nuns, and big buns in a minimum number of words. The concepts just are too far apart.
Your “can” is your butt. A woman’s “cans” are indeed her boobs. You can usually figure out which is which by context. tdn seems to have hit on one of the few examples where that’s not possible.
Red bouys, which you keep to the left while leaving port, are conical shaped, much like a nun wearing a habit. Green bouys, kept to the right, are cylindrical, like cans. Sailors often refer to these collectively as “nun and cans.”
Obviously, the intended audience for this joke is those with some amount of maritime experience.
Lenny Bruce thought there was surely a joke in the fact that you could buy patent leather shoes made by Nunn-Bush®. Maybe there’s a “whimper in the wimple” in there somewhere. There’s a brand of crackers called “Nun-better.” It’s a minor brand, so sometimes you can’t find Nun Better. Nunbuttnunbuttnunbuttnunbutt. Butter up your nun butt, sister. Sometimes, when you boff your sister, it’s not incest. She’ll rap your knuckles with a ruler, then measure you with it.
Sally Field still looks mighty fine, at 60.
I’m just riffing, here. Probably nothing worth looking at.
