“What did one oar say to the other?”/“Are you up for a little row-mance?”

A popular Valentine’s Day riddle is:
 
Q: What did one oar say to the other?
A: Are you up for a little row-mance?

 
The joke was posted to the newsgroup alt.humor.puns on February 14, 2004 and has been printed on GIFs. “Oar” is sometimes replace with “boat” or “rowboat.”
