I love when my jokes or puns get secondary life. . .

I'm a stinker; if asked to translate I'd likely have said, "Manure takes place"
& keep on coming up with a new pair of synonyms until they clue in, or as is 
more usual, someone else gives it away! *at which I say, "Dammit, I could've  got 3 more in before she got it!"

I tend to always bushwhack when asked to translate my punny euphemisms, like,  on hearing a bad person has left town, I'll say, "G.F.R." & translate it to  just "Good riddance." 

This way they can't get offended, because only they supply the so-called  offensive element.

& when I tel one of these stuck up prigs to "get bent" & they are dumb enough 
to ask what that means, I say, "Imagine you don't just look & act like a hippo  or rhino, but you smell like one in heat, & a male of the species is running  towards you, & you have a wardrobe malfunction & are standing there, bent, with no clothes on. . . This is my thinking when I tell you to get bent.  It's my  new "Happy Place," picturing that scene.
