When a pawn passes, there is no funeral

"I didn't mean to make you see red."
My profile page is black, so red works best for me.
So where is the humorous, ironic, or risqué purpose that conveys a message which would be socially awkward, or even offensive, to state directly?
Example:When is a passed pawn gay? When it becomes a queen.
"My profile page is black, so red works best for me"
- Yes, but it looks crappy in the forum, and conveys agitation, alert or aggression
"So where is the humorous, ironic, or risqué purpose that conveys a message which would be socially awkward, or even offensive, to state directly?"
- It was a double entendre because cause it had two connotations, one of them ironic (e.g. passed pawn vs. passed[-away] pawn, wherein a passed pawn in chess is opposite of passing away as in death, but rather is a promotion in life). You're mistaken. You're busting my chops here for nothing, or at least in the wrong way.
"Example: When is a passed pawn gay? When it becomes a queen"
- That is not necessarily true in modern chess, because in modern societies we see women serving even in the infantry.
So, do picketers from the Westboro Baptist Church visit the funerals of passed gay pawns?
