    You have been warned.

    A woman was in bed with her lover when she heard her husband opening the front door.

    "Hurry," she said, "stand in the corner."

    She rubbed baby oil all over him, then dusted him with talcum powder. "Don't move until I tell you," she said. "Pretend you're a statue."

    "What's this?" the husband inquired as he entered the room. "Oh it's a statue." she replied. "The Smith's bought one and I liked it so much I got one for us, too."

    No more was said, not even when they went to bed. Around 2 AM the husband got up, went to the kitchen and returned with a sandwich and a beer. "Here," he said to the statue, "have this. I stood like that for two days at the Smith's and nobody offered me a damned thing."

    LOL. Good one. I remember at another forum, I once used the term "off color" the same way you did and got critisized for making a racist statement. The person offering the critisism wasn't a native English speaker and wasn't aware of what that American slang phrase meant. :wink:
