Why are there two "citation needed"? I can see no way this would be true in the first case and there ''is'' a citation in the second case (P.S. did I do this right? First time using the discussion feature) [[Special:Contributions/141.101.91.217|141.101.91.217]] 14:59, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

To be fair, internalising anything from a girlfriend... or a girlfriend internalising anything from a boyfriend.... could have some implications. Which wasn't intended here I'm sure. 122.148.216.22 08:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Is the fact that this explanation is set as incomplete ironic? Surely the point of this post is that there IS no punchline - the victim is searching the sentence for humour that does not exist. As the alt text explains, the more literate the victim, the more they will agonize over potential wordplay which is simply not present. 141.101.98.237 07:30, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Inserting "if you'll pardon the pun" into a phrase with no pun is a recurring joke on "A Bit of Fry and Laurie". 173.245.50.60 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
