I missed much of this thread, so I don't know if you are talking about stuff
that's intentionally or accidentally funny. Anway, I ran across something in a
technical manual which I thought was so funny I just had to steal it and use in
one of mine.
In the glossary there was this entry:

When you went to "internal loop" you found this:
internal loop: see loop, internal.
