I find total stupidity darkly humorous. I’ve seen a bunch of these “accidents”, lessons never seem to get learned.

I won’t say it’s not funny. After all we have a whole genre [Whatever]'s Funniest Videos. But a joke, to me, is a story told for amusement. There’s no story there beyond perhaps, “Hold my beer and watch this.”

My wife’s sister thought it was funny to introduce me as her ‘future ex-husband’ once when we were still engaged. A real laff riot, she is.

One of the youtubers I follow calls many of the male actors she lusts after in her reaction videos “future ex-husbands” despite being currently happily married.

And I’ll respect your implied wishes, Professor.

A thirdhand quote, funny enough to count as a joke I think:

`Brandon Sanderson detailed a "Bad Story Idea" that started with the premise of people pretending to choke so Vader wouldn't kill them for real. But then one day an officer who didn't get the memo freaks out, quick draws, and shoots Vader. So the entire OT is recontextualized, because Vader is actually just a suit remote controlled by a team working behind the scenes so no one learns Vader is dead. Called the whole scenario "Weekend at Vader's" and discussed how this would change the significance of certain lines. Like "altering the deal" with Lando was just because the guy operating Vader's voice forgot what the previous guy had agreed to, and was trying to cover the mistake.`

Off-topic? Occupational therapy? Original tone? Old Testament?

I bet it means “original trilogy”, though “Old Testament” was also the first thing that came to my mind. “These people take their _Star Wars_ VERY seriously!”

OT = Original Trilogy is a standard fan abbreviation, yes.

### What is Darth Vader’s favorite month?

Imperial March

Apparently, security doesn’t appreciate it when you call “shotgun” before boarding a plane.

In his movies.

He was the Force.

I was there for the original releases. That was before the Internet, and thus before ‘standard fan abbreviations’. 😉 (I still refer to _Star Trek_ as ‘Star Trek’ instead of ST:TOS.)

So was I; I’ve just spent enough time associating with the fandom in recent years that I picked up the modern jargon by osmosis.

Besides, there are so goddam many of them, you need something to tell them apart.

Star Trek and MCU, I’m lookin’ at _both_ of you.

True story-- a guy who I used to work and hang out with told me he had a friend when he was younger who used to say “that’s _bomb_!” all the time-- meaning, “that’s _great!_”

One can probably guess where this is going-- he was in line at the airport to board a plane, struck up a conversation with someone else in line, and was loudly saying in response to some piece of good news “that’s _bomb_, man! That’s really _bomb_!”

He was taken to a back room for a loooong conversation with airport security. And this was well before 9/11, when security was not exactly on high alert.
