Broad humour makes much use of puns and double entendres things that can have two meanings: one being perfectly innocent; but the other having a sexual/different meaning.
Can I write the part in bold like this: _one is perfectly innocent; but the other has a sexual/different meaning_ ?
Yes. But join the two parts with a semi-colon , or with the conjunction but, but not with both. one is perfectly innocent, but the other has a sexual/different meaning.
