I always found the phrase "ticket to ride" interesting. There has long been discussion about the "ride" originally referring to "Ryde" -- a town in the Isle of Wight. However, according to various Youtube commentators, the "ride" is a pun which also refers to sex. And the "ticket" refers to a certificate German streetwalkers were given upon being tested for STDs and being found disease-free. I buy it. It sounds like a Lennonesque pun.
