This is, unfortunately, not as dirty as the name implies. I seem to recall something at the beginning of season three about the boys, art and fire. Oh and it's not actually a DS icon but... 464 words.

"Ray, what are you drawing?"

"Nothing, Frase."

"You seem quite intent on your work, for it being nothing."

"Uh-huh. It's nothing."

"If you're sure?"

"I'm sure."

"You know Ray, like many things in life, art is as much about the journey as the destination. I certainly wouldn't judge your work harshly, the act of creating is far more important than the end result."

"One, it ain't finished and b, I ain't so sure I'd show it to you if it was."

"Why not, Ray?"

"Not sure it's up your alley."

"My alley?"

"It's just a little stick figure thingy, no big deal, okay."

"Oh, well as I said, the journey is . . ."

"Frase, it's not that it's stick figures. I can draw better than that. They just gotta be stick figures for the joke to work."

"Joke?"

"Yeah, look it's not like it matters. It's just a funny, little, stick figure thingy."

"That's not up my alley?"

"Yup. Hand me that ketchup packet."

"Ray?"

"I need red."

"Ah. . . . Ray."

"What?"

"I do have a sense of humor. I can enjoy a humorous drawing despite your opinion that I'm pop-culturally illiterate."

"Yeah, yeah I know you got a sense of humor. It's not the funny part that's the problem."

"It's not?"

"No."

"Then what's the problem?"

"It's um . . . it's dirty."

"Perhaps if you'd started with a clean sheet of paper rather than a slightly used napkin from Tony's Pizzeria . . ."

"It's not that kind of dirty, well okay yeah, it is that kind of dirty, but it's the other kind of dirty too."

"The other . . . ah."

"See, not up your alley."

"My alley isn't dirty?"

"No Fraser, your alley is a quiet, safe, clean, Canadian alley. The kind of alley you could let babies and small, cuddly animals play in. There's nothing dirty there whatsoever."

"You really think I can't appreciate a dirty joke?"

"Does the pope shop in a funny hat?"

"I'm sure he doesn't make a habit of it."

"Hardy ha ha. Is there any mustard over there? I need some yellow."

"Perhaps in the glove box. Yes, here is one."

"Thanks."

"How many Polacks does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

"Fraser?"

"How many Polacks does it take to screw in a light bulb?"

"Fine, I'll bite, how many?"

"Two, but don't ask me how they managed to get in there."

"Holy shit, Fraser! You just told a really bad, really old, dirty joke. You didn't sprain anything did you? They won't revoke your Mountie license will they?"

"I'll likely get off with just a reprimand."

"Okay, you earned it. Take a look."

"Ray are they . . . uh. Oh!"

"See, dirty."

"And incendiary."

"And done."
