You're wrong, this is obviously a reference to Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew. In act 2, Scene 1 Petruchio says to Katherine: "Who knows where a wasp does wear his sting - In his tail." After a back and forth Petruchio says: "What, with my tongue in your tail! Nay, come again, Good Kate, I am a gentleman." This comic clearly swaps the roles of Petruchio and Katherine to say something very profound about our society, definitely not a dumb horny comic

I'm not sure how I missed this. It's so obvious when you think about it!
