How many holes you doing today?
Joke Poo: What’s in the Box?
What’s a question you might ask both a professional mover and a magician?
How many vanishing acts do you have planned for today?
Alright, let’s break down this joke!
Joke Dissection:
- Core Element: The punchline hinges on the double meaning of "holes." In golf, it refers to the holes on the course, and in pornography, it refers to, well, a different kind of "hole."
- Humor Type: Punnery/Wordplay, combined with a slightly edgy, suggestive element. The humor comes from the unexpected juxtaposition of these two very different contexts.
- Target Audience: People who are familiar with golf and have a general understanding of adult film terminology. The fun stems from recognizing both meanings.
Comedic Enrichment – Option 1: The Observational Humor Route
Observation: "It’s interesting how much vocabulary crosses over between golf and, shall we say, ‘adult entertainment’. Grip, shaft, stroke… you almost expect a golf caddy to start yelling ‘Work that angle!’ on the 18th."
Comedic Enrichment – Option 2: The "Did You Know?" Route
Did You Know? "Speaking of holes… did you know the average golf course hole is 4.25 inches in diameter? That’s precisely the size determined by Scottish golfer Tom Morris in 1891, who apparently just used the size of the tool he was using to make them! No word on whether any other ‘industry standards’ have ever been decided that way."
Comedic Enrichment – Option 3: A New Joke
Why did the pro golfer get banned from the adult film set?
Because he kept yelling, "FORE!" during critical scenes. The director said the safe word was "Fore-play"!
