In Blazing Saddles, there was a running gag about the name Hedy Lamarr (It's HEDLEY!!!)

I think it would be fun to have a story with a private investigator Wendell "Stiff" Nippers. His nickname "Stiff" comes from walking with an artificial leg, having lost the original to a roadside IED while stationed in Afghanistan.

Wendell at the Police Station: "I'm Stiff Nippers, here to see Lieutenant Adams about a case."

Desk Sergeant, gets on the phone: "Hey, Lieutenant, there's a guy here to see you about a case, says he's got stiff nipples!"

~~~~~

Wendell at Starbucks: "I'll have a Grande latte, please."

Barista at register: "Name?"

Wendell: "Nippers"

Barista 2, serving drinks: "HOT GRANDE LATTE TO DIP YOUR NIPPLES!"

~~~~~~

Wendell to informant: Got any news for me, Eddie?

Eddie the Informant: "Yeah, I got news for ya, Nipples. Don't get your tits in a tangle, I'll write it down. Hahahaha! Nipples, tits in a tangle, get it?"

Hilarity ensues.

One of Mel Brooks' best.

You know, I have this weird feeling I've seen the phrase "hilarity ensues" a few times before...

I think it's shorthand for: "Yeah, I know this sounds really stupid, but trust me; it gets really funny eventually." Usually it's a lie.

actually shorthand for "and them the story continues with as much sex as fits, after which they live happily ever after."
sex should always be hilarious, don't you think?
