Heh. I once trolled my sister thus, who came to a party sporting a spiffy pair of cherry red pumps :

Me, all innuendo-like : Well, you know what they say about girls in red shoes…  
Her, eyes narrowed, ready to bite my head off : Oh, what \*do \*they say ?  
Me, innocent as all hell : I have no idea, I thought youcould tell \*me \*:(.

My friend Shorty used to be an entertainer in Branson, MO, and as such, he got in free to shows at the various theaters on his days off. One show he liked to catch was Mel Tillis’s. Mel would often ask an audience member there they came from. If the tourist said “Wisconsin,” Mel would say "Wisconsin? I got locked up there once.

I ate too much cheese."

Shorty _loved_ that joke, and just waited for his chance to spring it on some Wisconsin-based tourist. Unfortunately, according to his wife, he couldn’t tell a joke to save his life.

More unfortunately, his chance came one evening. He asked a couple in the front row where they were from, and the Golden Response came back: “Wisconsin.”

_“Wisconsin?”_ says Shorty. \*"I got thrown in jail there one time.

I ate too much cheese."\*

Crickets. Not a sound in the theater, except his wife’s palm smacking her forehead. :smack:
