BOX JOKES
These sexual box jokes, part of our erotic heritage, emanate from the United States sexual revolution. Hostility is often disguised as humor, a phenomenon embodied in these "gag gifts."
Although my taste is not shared by all, I find these box jokes compelling. There is something about the bad puns, the inane use of found plastic constructions, and, especially the fantasies of giving that they bring to mind. When I look at these box jokes, I wonder, salaciously, about the relationships that must exist between people such that giving such a thing would be an appropriate or even imaginable gift.
