Bragging Rights

I was over at Your Girl Friday's, posting something in her comment threads about movies, and John Cusak, when I reminded myself of something I once said in a theatre that was so funny, I still snicker at it to this day.

I was at a screening of Deep Impact with a female friend (whom I no longer associate with). We were at the point in the movie where President Morgan Freeman breaks the news to the world about the impending doom descending upon all earthkind, and I saw it: an opportunity for true hilarity.

So I leaned over and whispered to my former female friend: "Geeze, I guess 'they' were right."

She, a fiercly liberal journalism major college graduate, whispered back, "Huh?"

"The first black president gets elected, and now the world is gonna end."

She laughed so hard she was crying. Impressive, given that she managed to do it quietly enough to not get us thrown out.

What's the funniest thing YOU'VE ever said?

I have no sense of humor myself, but your movie commentary WAS pretty funny.

Uh...I don't quite remember, but it was funny enough to make a tattoed prison guard shoot beer out of his nose...

But my favorite movie commentaries (damn that short term memory) were from "Independence Day." That movie is infinitely mockable.

Ashe,
I had something else poseted here, but honestly, my give-a-fuck meter is at an all-time low as regards him, so I deleted it.

I really, really, really don't want to discuss, think about, or hear mention of, said person again, ok?

You have your opinion, made from the other side of the planet, and I have mine, made from the passenger seat. And that's fine.
