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...

If she hasn't heard of Star Wars, she is not worth trying to charm. That's my opinion, anyway.

Excuse me, are you twelve? It's one thing to like a movie franchise, it's another to assume everybody else does and actually use it as a seduction technique. YDI.

If you haven't even HEARD of Star Wars, odds are you live under a rock.

As Obi Wan said, "This is not the girl you are looking for."

I've never SEEN starwars, but I at least have heard about it and would have understood your line. Still wouldn't have worked tho.
