While making wavs for the last episode Homer the Moe, I remember the line

"I don't want to start a tinkling contest here....or do I?..." What a waste. Everyone knows the real phrase is PISSING contest.

Just another example of how 2nd generation writers have lost the vision and edge.

i'm willing to bet it's the censors.

Honest Abe, The Most Honest Man on Usenet are you sick and tired of the same old things? or are you happy enough? so tell me, when did so much become so little?

I'd say Moe's self-censorship was the joke. Everyone (including the other bar patrons) knows the official phrase, and nobody would have objected to "pissing contest," but Moe cleaned it up anyway. It's the incongruity that's supposed to be funny, but apparently wasn't for the original poster.

Plus, it just sounds like how moe would say it. And, at least to me, tinkling's a funnier word than pissing. :)

True. The sound of the word is funny, and coming from someone like Moe, it's funnier (seeing that "tinkle" is a little girly word for urine :)
