So, after having sworn off women for two months in order to get my head straight, I worked up enough gumption to ask a certain cute blonde girl to dinner.
After receiving her response, I told my buddy about it at lunch.
HIM: “How’d it go with Katie?”
ME: “Dude, she gave me the Heisman.”
HIM: --blank stare–
After explaining it to him, he understood and found it funny. But I was stunned that I had to explain it to him at all.
I therefore put it to you all-
Are you familiar with this phrase? If so, what does it mean to you?
I knew about it because the guys on the rugby team used to use it. When anyone looked quizzical, they’d do a perfect imitation of the statue, with the addition of a facial expression of “GOD NO” and it cleared up any confusion.
This was the early 1990s. I thought it was funny then and still do.
Then again, jokes have an embarrassingly long shelf life with me. “1920s-style death ray” still busts me up.
Yeah, you would have had to explain it to me too. I don’t know off the top of my head what the Heisman trophy looks like since I’m completely non-sporty. However, now that I understand it, it is funny. Sorry to hear things went that way for ya though.
