Well sex must be on my mind (hmmm, a 'miscue' from reading the article?) but here is the epitome for me: SPORTS!
The epitome of double-entendre with sexual overtones. Shooting, scoring, dunking, getting to first base, second base, third base, all the way home; There are bats, balls, balls, and more balls. Lots of balls in sports. When I played women's adult hockey we had teams named: chicks with sticks; wanna puck?, 10 buns and a wienie (they had a guy goalie). Now that I've thrown out this 'miscue' I bet tipsters will be miscued for more ideas :) A second great example: at the end of Grumpy Old Men the old guys throw out about two dozen euphemisms for having sex.
