True political story ahead. British Columbia legislature 1970. A recently elected member, Agnes Kripps rises in the house to give her maiden speech. Under parliamentary tradition, maiden speeches, no matter how inept, are greated with applause from both benches. Agnes chooses sex as her topic, and proposes that the word sex be removed from the language and replaced by "BOLT" which stands for "Biological Organisms Living Together." As she expands on the theme, the House sits in stunned silence for some moments, then bursts into hilarity. Shouts from both benches interrupt her with cries of "I'm sitting here BOLT upright" and "That takes care of the BOLTS but what about the nuts," eventually drowning her out. Dismayed and wanting to continue, Ms. Kripps appeals to the speaker, shouting, "Mr. Speaker, can't you bang that big thing of yours on the table." In the resultant hilarity the house had to be adjourned for the day. It is rumoured that the Premier of the day (of the same party as Ms. Kripps) wet his pants laughing. And they say politics isn't fun....

Possibly the best I've heard. I heard an 'amusing' story involving a random man telling a girl sitting on a bench amongst her friends that he would "bolt her if she wasn't fifteen"...
