Desiree: "A dragoon. A very handsome, very married dragoon with, I'm afraid, the vanity of a
peacock, and the brain of a pea, but the physical proportions…"

Fredrik: "Don’t specify the vegetable, please."


That is, quite simply, a dick joke. Not a clever dick joke or an original dick joke, just a plain ordinary bad 1960s drag show dick joke.

Don't get me wrong, I love dick jokes, and I think you could even work a dick joke into A Little Night Music in an elegant and witty manner. This, though, isn't that dick joke.

"Don't squeeze your bosoms against the chair, dear! It'll stunt their growth, and then where would you be?" isn't much better. It's a very ordinary sniggering bazoom joke, and ungrammatical besides.
