Off track a little bit from the OP, but wasn’t the sound of the blasters in Star Wars the result of hitting a guy wire with a wrench?
Yes. Saw it in a “Making of” film, and even asked the head audio-tech at Lucas when I dropped off some speakers last year - he confirmed the history.
BTW - they have every sound used in every film ever edited at Lucas in their database, available by request (if you’re an engineer on a project there).

The more I think about it, the more this sounds like a Jim Anchower column.
Hola, amigos. I know it’s been a long time since I rapped at ya, but I’m currently what they call a guest of the county…Rick and me were hittin’ the bars on Friday like usual. This lame-ass bouncer didn’t want me to drive, but I figured, the car knows the way, so I gave my keys to Rick and had him pull the car around…Rick had his head out the window the whole way, and I figured he had to hurl…I go out to my car the next morning and his lazy ass was still in the passenger seat. I was all set to kick him out and tell him to clean up all that shit he left on the upholstery…I’m not lyin’ when I say this is possibly the deepest shit your pal Jim’s ever been in…
OK so the guy was wearing a greatful dead T-shirt “Dead head”…er
ok I tried,I got nothin’ either
Hahahahahahahagasphahahahahahahahhaahhaa.
I don’t have any clever puns, but that made me laugh so hard I choked.
You were arrested for decapitating your passenger while driving drunk too? :eek:
How many Dopers are there currently?
I guess it’s possible (and I’m guilty as well) that there are so many jokes this OP can spawn, that this would be so obvious that we would look for something else.
Yet it takes this long for the easy to be posted. Fellow Dopers, please join me in a moment of self-loathing for allowing the thread to go this long before the obvious.
Annie, fwiw, yours was worth the wait. 
Thanks duffer. I think people’s greatest failing is they ignore the odd-vious, as I put it.
Now if only MasterCard will use it and pay me royalties.
See if they’ll offer a 10% membership and I’ll be the muscle if they want to reneg.
C’mon, we can make a killing!
As a teenager of the 80’s I chortled.
As a teenager of the 80’s I am glad I still have my head (bugger all in it but I still have it).
…so we’re on the way home last night after a skinful, and my buddy goes “Objects in the mirror may be closer than they twang!” Funny? I laughed my fucking head off…
Cecil wrote about this sort of thing.
I reckon the driver got a little head that night! 
Regardless of what High Cheese stated that it isn’t likely that you can still puke minus your head, I still can’t get it out of mine, too.
I mean imagine driving down the road and feeling something wet hitting your arm. You start bitching at your buddy for puking in your car only to look over and see him sitting next to you, sans head, puke fountaining out of his neck and bouncing off the roof!
Me, I have a somewhat weak stomach when it comes to puke and would probably start to retch, but I’d be screaming at the same time. I’d probably choke to death.
I predict in a future teen slasher movie you will see something like this occur.
And in other news, I hear that Queen’s “It’s a Kind of Magic” was the CD that was in the radio when this all happened.
I agree wholeheartedly. Drunken people are only fun, and funNY to themselves. A drink or two and a bit relaxed and giggly? That’s one thing, but full on idiocy? Just Darwin’s Awards fodder, imho. Particularly those who make it a lifestyle, rather than an occasional recreation.
I bet there were a few rubberneckers around. Not enough, though.
