Yes I'm puerile, and old enough to know better . DD in Yr5 has been studying the solar system this term and I seem to relish any occasion when I can say: "DH look at Uranus, it's amazing" etc
DH says it was funny the first time but he still smirks.
DS13 thinks it's funny (he would) but DS11 thinks I'm "silly"
AIBU?

Uranus actually has rings, but they aren't usually visible because they are brown. So Uranus has a brown ring and smells of farts.

I was at a conference recently where we were being taught a fun learning game. Only I didn't listen to the instructions and instead of speaking I was miming out the words for my partner to guess.

Then "Uranus" was the word to mime (or describe, if I'd paid attention).

The guy running the session thought I was hilarious and shared my mistake with everyone. There were about 200 people there.

One astrologer tends to write stuff like 'uranus bringer of surprises'

@PissedOffNeighbour YADNBU. Anyone else remember the cricket commentary “ The batsman’s Holding, the Bowler’s Willy”? grin
Yes! Love an innuendo as you can tell Grin

If I am ever singing hymns in church which isn't often, (last time was at a Christening) but 'purple headed mountain' from All Things Bright and Beautiful always makes me want to snigger
