Not because I’m a Star Wars geek or anything (I’m not), but I found myself thinking a line in a social setting that gave me the giggles. The game is this:
Take any well-known line from the movies, and substitute a single word.
In my case, I was talking to a strikingly flat-chested (but otherwise quite attractive) woman and I kept thinking, in Darth Vader’s voice, “I find…your lack of tits…disturbing.”
Well, it’s been done with “pants”. “I find your lack of pants disturbing” isn’t quite as funny as yours, but “tits” is inherently a funnier word than “pants”.
I’ve been thinking if it slipped out while I was trying to suppress giggles, and how I would have explained it away. I don’t think any explanation would have washed.
