You know what happens

"fighting the bull," he will have to "pull out" his "bandolero," to which he replies, "you mean right in front of all those people?" "Certainly," she says, "that's what they came to see." "Well," he replies, "they'll have to look goddam close!" Her discourse is straight, while his re-keys her words to an erotic frame.

One thing that is notable about this joke is the way it frankly addresses male anxiety, and in fact, penis size is a recurring topic on blue discs. Often, this male anxiety is expressed negatively, in terms of female anatomy. When the woman in "Bull Fight, Part 1" describes how the king, queen and her ladies in waiting "all walk over and sit in the queen's box," the man replies "I've heard of putting your foot in it, but I'll be damned if I ever heard of anyone sitting in it." "Well that's nothing," she continues, "she has four or five guards standing in it." "Four or five guards standing in it?" he asks, dumbfounded, "now you're stretching things too damn far."
