Yes of course Diki's remark was in fun. And as you say, Hellboy, double entendre is a very British style of humour. I see from his/her profile that Pasadoble is from Portsmouth on the south coast of England, so I would have thought he'd have 'got' the humour straight away. Maybe it's a case of 'No Sex Please, We're British'. A farce that ran in London's West End theatres for a number of years.
