Specifically, a roll of nickels, up your rear end.

Yeah but you would barely feel that in your rear end.

Then it should be tight fiveS.

A roll of dimes is $5.

You see, the origin of the practice came from Shakespear's time, actually at the Globe Theatre. It was some sort of practice to pay the artists before the show, including the actors. To safe guard their pay, the actors would have to keep the money on their selves throughout the entire show. While it's easy when you're Hamlet and only have one outfit, but when you're a bit player changing costumes all the time you only have one place where you can reliably keep it. Between your cheeks. Now, it's contemporary belief that they literally kept them squeezed between the cheeks, but for the past several decades (maybe even hundreds of years) that it was kept right up in the cavity. It's been presumed either due to mistranslation it's been misconstrued, or maybe that a particularly kinky founder of a troupe misinformed his performers. Either way, for a while in Europe it was tradition to keep an item known as "One's wage", this being a play on words that actually means "someone else's totem which represent's your pay", in the anal cavity throughout an entire show. It was believed that this created better actors, as the ones who could perform through the discomfort were believed to be more convincing, but scientific experiments have proved otherwise.

When this action came to America in the early 1900's on Broadway, actors were literally payed with Nickles per performance. So some theatre owners, to save money, would forego the act of totems and just give them Nickels tied in cheesecloth to use instead. Eventually, as inflation rised and actors would be payed in more and more nickels, theatre owners would pay them in rolls of them, eventually one owner (whose still unknown to this day) invented the paper rolls that you see to this day in banks. But the saying always was "give them a tight five" as meaning "give them a hell of a performance with that nickel up your rear end", and never evolved beyond that as people were starting to be payed nickels by the pound.

Nowadays, as the practice is falling out of style, only select actors choose to carry on the tradition. Including Maryl Streep and Judi Dench (it's rumored that they once swapped rolls in the middle of a play), Ian Mckellan and Patrick Stewart have both kept the tradition alive while performing Shakespeare (though Stewart has admitted that he's recently switched to keeping a pence between the cheeks for historical accuracy), and on Broadway the tradition has almost completely died out, though some younger actors such as James Franco (who has said he only does it on stage, and not in his movies) keep it up, but it's believed he only does it cause he's a crazy pervert.

No, to post a funny version you need to post the ridiculous Amazing Spider-Man 2 version where the webline makes a loving ridiculous tiny hand before he catches her/she dies.

Daredevil’s plan to get his mind back is pretty great in that story: he (as Doom) starts doing a ton of good deeds as Doom.

There's a comic where Doctor Doom switches brains with Daredevil and doesn't even notice he's blind for several pages.

The best part is that after they switch back, Doom calls the FF like "This is Daredevil! Doctor Doom is in my body, and he's coming for you!" The Human Torch attacks Daredevil, and Spider-Man randomly appears to save DD. And to make the story telling less organic, Spidey tells him he just saw Thor while web swinging, so let's get him to help out. So, Daredevil, Spider-Man, and Thor fight the Human Torch, Mister Fantastic, and the Thing until Sue shows up and straightens things out.

I can't recall the issue off the top of my head, but it's an action packed issue, and a great opportunity to see Kirby draw Spidey and DD.
