Well a favourite of mine is "track and field". Used as a noun or verb eg. " will be track and fielding along to that" or "Gone for a bit of track and field, eh?"
Other than that, well every other Led Zeppelin song. Particularly the line "squeeze my lemon till the juice runs down my leg". 
excuse me, I'll just get my coat...

Jerms - a Brief flicker and then gone again. Posted Nov 28, 2003
Recently I was walking home from work, when a caption on a new poster caught my eye; "The shape of things to come." Looking closer, it turned out to be advertising for a new brand of condom. Rather inspired, I thought!

In this theatre group I was in, the standard euphemism (if you'd been there a while) was "D'you want to go get some.... food?"

When I worked for a large multinational Lift company many years ago they had a mainframe computer system called ROSS that was notoriously flaky and was forever crashing. The favoured way of announcing that there was a problem was to shout "ROSS has gone down on me"!

Terry Pratchett used a lot of in-your-end-o.
At least, Gaspo the wonder dog did.

What was that programme called with all the characters as solo-sexual innuendoes such as Master Bation and Seaman Staines!!!

It was "Master Bates" and "Seaman Staines" The programme was "Captain Pugwash" It ran for years without most people realising it was crammed full of people with dubious names.
I can still hum the theme tune if anybody's interested.
