I get the second half, about piercing, but what exactly is a Prince Albert in a can?

I know there *was* a Prince Albert -- but why would anyone inquire about his being in a can?

Really? There's something that Mr. Crab boesn't know?
Okay, here comes the long, boring explanation.
Prince Albert was a brand of tobacco, maybe still is. It used to be packaged in a can, maybe still is. It was almost a ritual that, after kids had learned to 'dial' the phone all by themselves, groups of them would get together when their parents weren't home and dial up various pharmacies and tobacco shops and ask, "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" The poor schmuck on the other end was then required to say, "Yes." To which the reply was, "Better let him out, he can't breathe in there. Yuck yuck yuck."
I imagine shop keepers heard this one a million times each

I once called random phone numbers and asked to speak to Satan. That gets you much more interesting responses.

It's harder to do that sort of thing now that a lot of people have Caller ID. Not that I ever called random people before...
