Role Playing is an edumacational activity...

Sometimes RPGs are educational. You run across a word, and maybe you think you know what it means, but you're unsure. So you look it up. Then you proceed to make the joke anyway, because mentally, you're 12.

"Good evening, Ladies and Germs, I'm Lewie Jerris and welcome to the 43rd annual Aquascutum telethon. As you all know, 'aqua' is a bluish color and 'scutum' is the latin term for ...well, you know. I'm asking you to give generously to the great cause of the prevention and relief of Aquascutum, commonly known as blue balls. Every gift helps in this great cause and I think we can conquer it in our lifetime, with your generous help. Won't you please lend a hand?"

Yeah, I was aware of that. What I learned about was the haberdasher of the same name.

Yeah, it's a really famous brand, but it shouldn't spoil a damn good routine.
