Phony Calls
I've been listening to this song a lot and I've been wondering, what does "Prince Albert in a can" mean? I've never understood that.

Prince Albert in a can was a type of cigarette (?) in a can, that was around in the early days of the telephone. Mainly the phone calls would be like:
"Hello, do you have Prince Albert in a can?"
"Yes"
"Well, you better let him out!"
"Hello, do you have Prince Albert in a can?"
"Yes"
"Well, you better let him out!"
Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

Actually, Prince Albert was a brand of pipe tobacco, but, yeah, old, old joke.
4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:
"How's Problem Child doing?" - 7/12/11
So awesome!
Al Team #325

Actually the Bible is far from being "family friendly."

Oh.
Well, I knew it was something to do with tobacco.

Hearing Al say "ass" shouldn't be that big of a shock. I mean, look at it this way - how many songs have we heard from Al? And how many times did he swear?? We got...
* One "sh**" in 'Dead Car Battery Blues', which wasn't even released to begin with
* One "ass" in 'Phony Calls'
* One "bastard" in 'Don't Download This Song'
THREE TIMES in 30+ years! Do you know how RARE that is among comedians today?!
