With young women named "Head" and "Neal" you would think these limericks would be a tad bit more inappropriate--as good limericks should be!

I am so glad I'm not the only one who's mind went there.

Sorta makes you wonder if that wasn't the intention. Those copywriters can be a squirrelly lot!

It does make me curious when the current use/meaning of some words came into being and for how long they were kind of underground slang for naughty type things, especially in advertisements. 'Gay' is a good example. As we've often seen here, even when it was still being commonly used to describe something happy, the pictures or illustrations in an ad kind of suggested something..well...gay.
