"What's a 'time lime'?"

An absurd question was asked of me this morning, after autocorrect discovered the puzzling fruit in my mangled effort to type "time limit." I salute the robots who humorlessly open the doors to humor. I love the idea of a Time Lime. What is it? I'm contemplating that question to the sound of this 1971 Harry Nilsson song:

Everyone knows that 'putting the lime in the coconut' was a euphemism for anal sex.

At least almost everyone knows that.

Maybe it is my circle of friends.

I am Laslo.

Highly recommend the documentary "Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin' About Him)?"

@Althouse, judging from the time stamps, you were still steamed at my remarks about shorts when you took a pass through this post.
