Ah HAH! moments
So this morning in the shower, for some very unknown reason, my brain, in its usual creative leaps and bounds, alighted upon the scene in Willy Wonka where Mr. Salt is speaking to Mr. Wonka in one of the rooms after the boat ride.
Mr. Salt looks at some of the boiling, churning vats and says,
"Butter scotch? Butter gin? You running something on the side here?"
to which Mr. Wonka replies,
"Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker."
I've watched Willy Wonka for many many years. I remember watching it on the Disney channel way back when. I remember seeing it three times during my 5th grade music class - in class, mind you - as part of our orchestral "training." My family wore out one tape, and bought it on DVD when it became available.
So I've conceivably been watching this movie for almost 23 years.
And I -just now-, at ~8:15am, March 23rd, 2007, understood the very blatant innuendo in this exchange.
I must be one hell of a prude.
I had the Willy Wonka moment the first time I watched it with my kids about three years ago. =)
Edit: Nm, asked the husband what it meant.
Q: When does a cub scout become a Webelos?
A: When he eats his first brownie
When I heard it, I didn't get it. I asked what it meant, and the teller told me that brownie was referring to the girl scout equivalent of a cub scout, not the delicious dessert. At this point I was just like "oh, ok" because I thought it was a joke about cannibalism, which I didn't find to be especially funny.
It wasn't until years later that I finally got it.
Aww, Jinheim was once a young innocent ickle boyscout.
Hey! I resemble that! :ptth

Heck, ask Bunny or Sarah or Shay or Cali. Sometimes things need to be pounded into my head before I get it.
In The Simpsons, there's a scene where Marge asks, "Has anyone seen that new Woodsy Allen movie?" and Flanders replies "Y'know, I love his movies except that nervous fella's always in them." I didn't get that until about a year ago (22 years old).
D'oh.
the problem is when you continue not understanding even when they explain it to you...
The more I think about it, the more I think I don't get it. What the heck IS willy wonka saying? :bricks
That's dandy.
Liquor is quicker.
I'm sure I could come up with a diagram if needed...
;)

Bah, we're all like that about one thing or another...you're just more fun to tease about it ;)
You give candy to a woman as a means of endearing yourself to her.
That's dandy.
Liquor is quicker.
Ok that's what I thought. I was beginning to think he meant 'lick her'. :whisper

I suppose it could be taken both ways. :)

that works almost as good.
