This reminds me of a comic strip from Pearls Before Swine that I love. I wasn't able to find the strip online, but I did find the text:
Mouse: Good people are sure hard to find.
Pig: Women like their privacy.
Mouse: What are you talking about?
Pig: Well, someone carved this hole in the women’s gym wall and when the women found out they were being spied on, they got rid of the hole.
Mouse: I said, ‘people’ not ‘peephole.’
Pig: I think all peepholes are bad.
