I enjoy a scene from a recent Bond film - where James is called on the telephone whilst he is in a compromising position with an academic at Cambridge University. He suavely navigates the telephone call, and when finished, his female companion remarks "James, you were always a such cunning linguist". My memory of the scene may differ slightly, but hopefully you pick up the play on words. The academic was a languages specialist, and if course, she was gorgeous.
That joke predates the Pierce Brosnan Bond movie by decades - making the use of it stale and crusty.
