Fun With Double Entendres

As a person who loves the craft of the written word, one of the silly yet effective tools that I enjoy is the Double Entendre.

The standard way to define this is:

Oxford Dictionary says,  “it “conveys an indelicate meaning”. The first meaning in double entendre is usually straightforward while the second meaning is ironic, risqué or inappropriate.”

Here are some examples. perhaps you can comment some of yours. Just a note of advice, the last one is a bit dirty.
