Perhaps these needles are x-rated!!

eBay Item #190428680423

**EDIT** I see today that the spelling has been corrected from pornograph to phonograph... somebody must have notified the seller of the error. It was funny while it lasted. :mrgreen:

One of the funniest freudian slips I ever saw was a clip that a friend sent me from the UK where they also have an Antiques Roadshow. The expert was looking at an object that had the emblem of Queen Victoria, a VR, which stands for Victoria Regina (Victoria Ruler)

The expert asked the visitor if they knew what the VR meant, which was answered with a shake of the head

"Well" the expert said, "the V is for V**ina" (One could see how he suddenly realized the major blunder he made as his face turned the reddest I have ever seen!!)

If anyone knows the clip /outtake, my copy went west when my old computer died. I'd really like to see it again!

I can find several references to the episode online, but unfortunately the only video of it is via a torrent download. :(

Sounds funny, tho!

Well, they could prick you if you're not careful!
