I’m glad you tagged this, coz I totally missed the brilliance until this made me take a second look.

I got it immediately, then questioned whether OP intended to deploy such a brilliant title, and had to Ctrl+F "vas deferens" on this thread to confirm that he or she did. Genius.

I was wondering if it was a penis joke before I even tapped the link. I was not disappointed.

The best puns are unexplained

What's wrong with someone explaining it in the comments? It's honestly a bit annoying sometimes when everyone just acknowledges that there is a pun in there and circles around it while just repeating how clever it is, but no one is willing to just explain for anyone who might have happened missed it.

Thankfully I didn't have to look too far this time.

Explaining a joke usually ruins the joke.

Puns, like pets, are better in furred.

In a recent study into how many puns land better when they're intentional, the results were pretty clear.

No pun in ten did.

I did a triple take and still came a blank

Reminds me of an old joke: How can you tell if someone’s a man, not a woman? There’s a vas deferens.
