Oh @whatexit -- u have to see *Trouble w Harry* again. It's hysterical. There isn't really much of a plot to spoil, but for a key to one level of the humor, just keep OK, I have to spoiler-box, can't think of a way to circumlocute.
Anyway, this is just my observation, but I think the way it's supposed to wind up in psycho-sexual ideas:
Spoiler (mouseover to read):
at the end, we have three virgins and a sea (OK, tugboat) captain mated up. "She's remarkably well-preserved." ahem "And preserves are meant to be opened" -- not a witty line, but it's all in the delivery. |
Well, it's hard to sum up in lines, and that's only one aspect of the humor, the sexual innuendos and finding out why Shirley was so circumspect about her marriage, and what the .... ahem .... "artistic" fellow whispered in Shirley's ear.
So, it's the delivery, and the fact that every humorous aspect is said in incongruous terms and circumstances.
No real way to sum that up, except that it's about the funniest fucking thing I've ever seen.
