Uffda! You couldn't run that ad today. People'd be falling on the floor, laughing. I guess the word johnson didn't have the same meaning back then.

The last scene, especially.

OTOH, I remember a trip to a lake, back in 1962. I was 16. My Dad let me take this girl I had met at the lake out in the family boat one evening. Oh, my! But that outboard was an Evinrude.

Ahem....

Speaking of Johnsons......just how, when and why did the word take on that "other" meaning?

I will be the first to admit that I don't really know.....
