        I took apart my toys and made new toys out of them all the time when I was a kid and several decades later, I appear to be a normal member of society without having committed a single murder.

            […] she’d be a bike*.
            Apparently, the usage of “bike” is important in that joke, because it’s a British slang for “slut”.

              Good to know but I’m sure they’re about the same because the intention is “people ride her”

              Then again slang is slang

                I know I’m being pedantic, but that’s the word used in the video and that’s the slang term, specifically “bike”, probably because it sounds more punchy.

                Nice bike

                  To be even more pedantic, the guy is Italian and that is relevant to the character. In Italy we say “if my grandmother had wheels she would be a wheelbarrow”. He pauses a moment before saying the joke, probably because he didn’t remember the word wheelbarrow and went for bike instead.
