Today, I brought a fluorescent tube to the store to make sure I got the correct replacement. Trying to charm the sexy cashier, I waved the tube in the air, saying "I need a new light sabre, there is no force left in this one and the Empire is attacking." Turns out she'd never heard of Star Wars. FML
hclagopus tells us more.
OP here. I did not try to pick her up - I am a 42 year old married father of three and even if I wanted a date I have enough knowledge of the world to know that hot twentysomething blondes prefer hot twentysomething hunks - but I did try to make her smile, and failed miserably. And my geek level is so low that I read paper papers and constantly need my twelve year old son to help with my Iphone. (Plus I`ve never seen the sequels) I realize the girl probably lacked humour more than Star Wars knowledge, but what the heck. My wife laughed her ass off when I told her, though, bless her.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah because making star wars references tend to help with the ladies...

I find her lack of culture disturbing.

Yeah dude. Um? She's a girl who obviously doesn't get that pick up line. I still can't believe she's never seen Star Wars though...

Sucks for her that she's never heard of Star Wars, but dude... you clearly don't know it well either if that's how you think light sabers work.

Even if someone doesn't like Star Wars, how could they not at least have heard of it?
