You can read a NFBSK message into anything. I once read a story about a woman at a Toronto fair who prided herself on the size of her waffles.
You can imagine what waffles became a synonym for soon enough.
In the Garfield comic: I suppose it's kinda NFBSK. But it's not particularly well done. I wonder what that strip would be like without the speech bubbles.

I think Beach's interpretation of the comic is correct, but I think that a truly twisted mind could make just about anything seem dirty.

But look at the grin on Garfield's face! This has to be NFBSK!

As an experiment, I shoed to to a few coworkers who would not tend to think (or at least say) the pervy interpretation first. They also could not figure out the meaning except as innuendo.
I suspect that Beach's interpretation may be correct, but I didn't even think of that one.

I think spelunking is used to frequently as an innuendo for it not to be taken that way here. The main point is, of course, that the actual punchline is unfunny which is also not shocking.

Depends on who was the spelunker and who was the spelunkee!

Gah! That's freaky-NFBSK. Apparently Jon doesn't know much about how to please his dates.

Spelunking=exploring a cave. Or if you will...Jon went exploring in his date's "cave"

As it turns out, DW, it was NFBSK.
ETA: But I'm certain that if he's referring to it as a cave after the first date, it was probably also the last date.

Jon went on a date with a new woman and she lived in a cave. Fill in the rest: she was Neanderthal looking, caveman manners, etc.
In the next days' cartoon, Jon goes on another bad date.

We know that, it's just more fun this way.

1) Garfield burps at Jon. 2) "Tuna!" Jon replies. 3) "I don't want to play 'Guess That Burp' anymore." Jon says to Garfield.
"Guess that burp game..." could also be NFBSK... kind of reminds me of that joke about the blind man who responds, after smelling a part of a woman's anatomy, goes "That smells like the s@#thouse door on a tuna boat!"
