Max was on a roll, he didn't think she'd invite him in for coffee but she did. As he washed his hands he noticed how clean and tidy the bathroom was. Ivory tiles shone and golden fittings sparkled. He drew back the shower curtain, smiled and took out his phone. "I can't make it tommorow, I'm probably gonna be tied up." An answerphone somewhere recorded his message.

I apologise, but the fact is my mind is in the gutter most of the time. I have decided to stop taking the medication and embrace this fact. So here's my latest epiphany, Inferred Intelligent Adult Humour. I can hear it being quoted now as the technique of the future. The idea is these things hide in your work, like viruses waiting to be discovered. If  this gutter humour is ever discovered you can deny it, put it down to coincidence.

Don't worry if you don't get it all - Unless you're kinda twisted you're not supposed to.

If you're five years old, it's a man saying he's gonna be late. If you're any older than that then, 'I'm probably gonna be tied up' is a rubbish sitcom  type joke. If an inquisitive type you may wonder what lead him to believe he was going to be tied up.
