[QUOTE=robardin]  
Ever play the game about substituting “pants” into famous lines from movies or books (especially Darth Vader’s lines from [Star Wars](http://www.keepersoflists.org/index.php?lid=1906) movies)?

“You are unwise to lower your pants.”  
“A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old master.”

Or Princess Leia, objecting to the Death Star being focused on her home planet: “But Alderaan is peaceful! We have no pants!”

Yoda: “I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants!”

I’ll stop now, because I’m snorting.

“Tinkle” is also funny.  
[/QUOTE]

Reminds me of adding the words “in bed” to every fortune cookie.

\*You will be successful… in bed.

Beware of small cats… in bed.

This is your lucky day… in bed.\*
