- The coupon for Brothers Pizza in Cleveland.
Why is one local pizza shop selling “12 boners and 4-skins”? Because “12 boners and 5-skins” just wouldn’t make any sense. You’re never too old to laugh at some dick jokes, so check out this coupon from Brothers Pizza referencing what people in the medical field would classify as “uncircumcised erect penises” for their boned chicken wing and potato skin pairing.
Calling it “boners” and “4-skins” probably won’t have people lining up around the corner just to get taste, and I’m not really sure what “Chick’n” is, but it’s still a solid coupon that at least made one person not immediately toss it into the trash.

Back in the day, the monolith that was the daily newspaper could have featured that ad directly below the one’s announcing slick deals at “massage” parlors.
A real Jay Leno moment
I would like to be in charge of a focus group of elderly people that reacted to this coupon.
I think this was a pretty clever play on words by the guys at Brothers Pizza, also assuming they’re guys with that type of sexual spin on menu items. If Jay Leno show was still around this would be agore at example of the funny coupons and specials he displayed. I wonder this… How could they possibly expand on this menu with more twisted words?
Boom!
