Alright, so this isn't really a joke (though I do think that it's funny and very touching so I'll post it in the cat thread)....

An elderly man wakes up from surgery and says to the nurse, "Are my testicles black?" She replies, "I don't know...let me check." So she lifts up his gown and thoroughly checks down there and says, "Everything looks fine to me." The man yells, "No, No, I said are my test results back."

I recognize the song from way back when; however, I don't understand the reference to $48 [Note:  I did not watch the whole video].

That carol singers one was quite clever!  :)

It is an older phrase, at least here in America, but if you have $48.00 and the ticket is $50.00, then you are "Two Shy" of the full amount!  (Two Shy = Too Shy)

Today you would hear most likely: "I cannot buy the ticket because I am two short (i.e. two dollars short)," which phrase also lends itself to some humor.   8)

Thank you for the explanation.  I know the phrase but didn't connect it with the song.   ;)
