The vagina story must be quite common. It also appears in The Big  
Lebowski when Maud tells the Dude that most men can talk of their  
d*ck, r*d, jo****on without batting an eye, whereas the word vagina  
makes them feel uneasy. And after a minute, when she puts a tape in  
the VCR, she talks about this beaver-picture, and the Dude  
interjects: oh, you mean vagina?
The same joke, only reversed!
