Banned shows????
Swine Forkbeard:
I have a question about The Yoke's on Me, which I only saw one time when I was a kid. The only thing that stands out is one line of dialogue that floored me, in an "I can't believe they got away with that" kind of way. It was a scene where they perform what today's audiences would regard as a racially insensitive minstrel show where Moe says something to the effect of "It sounds like you ejaculated a mouthful." Does anyone remember this, or did I imagine it?

Thank you for the patronizing response. I'm well aware the word has more than one application, but was wondering how such a tawdry (and, one would think, intentional) double-entendre could make it past the censors in 1944. Plus, you didn't answer my question about whether my recollection is accurate.

Hold on a minute, I thought that the Patronzing Response Department was closed for the upcoming holiday weekend. I'll have to check with the manager there, Helen Waite. Every time I need to talk to someone, they tell me to go to Helen Waite.
That gag is so old, it's grown a long grey beard.

I do happen to remember the Stooges' "You ejaculated a mouthful" line; I think Moe says it, but I can't recall the short. Anyone?
We'll have an answer immediately if not sooner, from one of the Stooge "expoits."

The line is from UNCIVIL WAR BIRDS (1946).
I seriously doubt that it was intended as a double-entendre. Just a fancy way of saying "said," in line with the exaggerated southern accents / speech patterns used by the characters. I've seen Jules White's copy of the final shooting script, and there is nothing that implies otherwise.
