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

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.

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

I didnt know a flaccid lightsaber would be used to score. Looks like you need more training because the force is obviously not strong with you.

Where in this FML does it say anything about being flaccid?

You're lucky she isn't like that chick on the bus. "The virginity is strong in this one."

She'll find out eventually. They're coming out with an Episode 7 in the near future. Bring her up to speed before then! Then hopefully, after a few movies dates, the sex will be with you.

Erm... Don't hold out for the Disney version to have the same pull as either the original or the prequels.

Why? Knowing of Star Wars isn't a sign of intelligence or anything.

Sorry O.P. what you should have said is, "I find you attractive and would really like to date you, but I cannot resist the desire to make sure that never happens by using a modified line from a movie you've either; A: never heard of or B: if you have heard of it you'll know I'm a nerd and reject my advances." Next time, just ask the girl out...

Never HEARD of Star Wars? Not having seen it is awful but I suppose fair enough, but to not have even heard of a Lightsaber? Where has she been hiding all these years?
