From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Other examples
Snopes.com mentions the line "Policemen don't have balls", in which the three meanings are:
- to the police not holding dances
- to the police being less than virile physically
- to the police being cowardly[1]
The Language Log blog mentions an article by Christopher Hitchens 'Unfairenheit 9/11' as being a triple entendre with the following meanings:
- it refers to the unfairness of Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11
- it is a play on the title of the film,
- which is itself a play on Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451[2]

[edit] Irony?
Am I the only one that finds it ironic that the article gives three examples? xD--Lysdestic (talk) 23:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
No, but you're the only one that still doesn't understand irony. --128.174.151.96 (talk) 00:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
