[[AC:Pinball]]
* In [[Creator/MidwayGames Bally's]] ''[[Pinball/StarTrekBally Star Trek]]'' pinball, there's a small passage loop, hidden behind one of the bumpers, which is labeled "Where No Man Has Gone Before"... because it's practically impossible to intentionally hit it.
[[AC:Print Media]]
* One issue of ''Magazine/PrivateEye'', covering the scandal after [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacqui_Smith#Expenses_controversies Jacqui Smith's husband used her expense account to buy adult films]], ran with the joke "At least he's not a banker!", the unspoken pun being that he is however (literally) a wanker.
** ''Private Eye'' also often refer to themselves as an "organ". On the obvious level, it's a pun on the fact that the eye is an organ, the StealthPun comes in with the fact that this then makes them a "Private Organ".
** Stealth RunningGag -- A ''Private Eye'' CaptionCompetition photo showed Chris Woodhead (former Chief School Inspector, who had a relationship with an ex-student) and a teenage girl looking at a large book. The winning caption was "Look, there it is, next to Kenya." - the suggestion being that they really were "discussing Uganda", a long-time running gag for an excuse they took as an UnusualEuphemism.

** The correct punchline is, of course, [[spoiler: "the deputy head"]].
