“Did you hear about the new deodorant called Umpire? It’s for foul balls”

“Foul balls” can mean one thing in baseball, but can mean another thing to men. A joke has been cited in print since at least 1972:
   
“Did you hear about the new man’s deodorant called ‘Umpire’? It’s for foul balls.”
 
The joke has been printed on several images.
