Words of Juvenile Humor

I was sitting at the gym today reading the WSJ when I read an article titled, "Oil Lubricates Asia-Mideast Ties" when I found myself laughing at loud at the word "Lubricates". In addition to realizing that I am a 12 year-old in the body of a 29 year-old, I also came to the conclusion that there's a subset of words that make me laugh anytime I hear them, no matter what context they are used in. I've listed the ones that came to mind, along with examples of non-inaapropriate usage. Please feel free to add any.

Lubricate - "Oil Lubricates Asia-Mideast Ties."
Nuts - "These nuts are very salty."
Penetrate - "This product has the ability to really penetrate the market."
Balls - "Those balls almost hit her in the face."
Gas - "The smell was attributed to a gas leak."
Beaver - "The beaver is extremely adept at taking down wood."
Dick - "Hello, my name is Dick."
Discharge - "The combination of those two chemicals produces a noxious discharge."
Uranus - "Uranus is a gaseous planet."
Skid Mark - "The accident left a notable skid mark on the street."
