_Star Wars_ has a number of naughty lines, out of context. “Look at the size of that thing!” “You’ve got something jammed in here real good.” “Luke, at that speed, do you think you’ll be able to pull out in time?” “Get clear, Wedge! You can’t do any more good back there!” “Get on top of it!” “I’m _trying_!!” “Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don’t care what you smell!” ---

DO NOT HUMP. (Written on certain railroad freight cars. Modern freight yards sort cars by pulling them to the top of a hill – the hump – and letting them roll down the hill into the correct siding by judicious flipping of switches, like a controlled version of pachinko. “Do not hump” cars contain cargo too delicate for this procedure.) ---

Or, Dick Phelan, which sounds like a call for Viagra. True story: The launch of Cialis was delayed by a few months because the drug’s existence was discovered by some people with the surname Cialis, who sued unsuccessfully to get the drug’s name changed. :eek: ---

I don’t care what you smell!” There’s an episode of _Star Trek_ (“The Immunity Syndrome”) with so many lines like that that I always wondered if it was intentional. Lots of references to penetration, stimulation, and thrusting. My favorite line is “The area of penetration will no doubt be sensitive.” No doubt, Mr. Spock. No doubt. ---

We just saw that episode a few weeks ago (BBC America has been running TOS regularly), for the first time in many years. That line made us laugh for a long time. 😃 ---
