You are clearly not British, otherwise you would recognise the rule that no entendre must be left un-doubled.

Amusingly, double entendres, common in Britain, would probably cause those in the West Coast US to panic for fear of being perceived sexist. In Britain (home of the panto [1]), we just smile childishly...... and maybe add a 'fnarr fnarr' for good measure.
