I think if one goes back and looks at some of the so clean humour of the past we will see there was much more sexual innuendo there they we first thought. In those days is was fashionable to disguise it current humour is more open IMHO I think the later is more honest.

I say we just start exchanging funny Aggie jokes if this keeps coming up over and over again.

Three Aggies were in a car going to Disney World and they saw a sign saying 'Disney World Left,' so they turned around and went home...

There is something to be said for the use of subtlety in humor. There is an old saying that " we do not want to disturb the horses", which I believe dates to the 19th Century. Even with the hypocrisy, the Victorian Era was a better one than ours, with lower crime, less widespread venereal disease, and fewer broken families. These vices did exist, but at a lower level than at present. Social standards impelled most people to at least give the appearance of propriety.
