Weirdest Japanese product - the ol' swan-head penis cover gag
Oldest vaudeville gag in the book. Gummo Marx used to drop his pants and offer to show a bimbo "a fowl sight." "Sir," she would reply, "You have fooled me thus before, and I shan't see your cock again." Turned out the fowl was not a cock, but a swan!

I guess you had to be there. It killed in Ashtabula and Chagrin Falls - basically all over the Ohio vaudeville circuit, and even in parts of Iowa. And in Japan, of course.
