What potentially offensive comment has someone made about your body, which they managed to deliver in such a way that it amused, rather than offended?
[Note: My answer contains a description of body-modification.]
I was at a festival in Southern California, and a well-known piercer/tattooist was there. I chose to have my labia pierced, and climbed up into her tall director's chair, with her perched on a stool below, staring pretty much directly into my crotch.
She very clinically pulled my (very long) labia out from my body to assess a potential site, saying: "Nice lips! I could pierce you a dozen times on each side and just sew you up like a turkey!"
It took a long time for me to stop laughing enough for the procedure to commence safely.
