My mother used to repeat the, possibly apocryphal, tale of the early BBC newsreader 

Richard Baker who, from time to time, would host radio programmes.   

A lady wrote in to the Home Service (now Radio 4) to complain that on switching on her wireless set she had heard him say “tits like coconuts” and immediately turned it off in disgust.   

He apparently replied that that was a shame because had the lady listened a little longer to the programme she would have realised it was about attracting birds into one’s garden and the full phrase was “tits like coconuts and robins like worms.”

 

Middlesister was quite amused a while ago when during a phonecall I suddenly cried 

"There's tits on my nuts!"

To which she replied 

"Better than the other way around."
