Dammit and I thought I was demonstrating that women have a sense of humor as well as a dry but spiky personality with a propensity for intelligent repartee drawing on literary and philosophical leitmotifs for the delectation of those present.

(I have a degree in English Literature. Haunts me still.)

And that grape or strawberry quote reminds me of a (allegedly true, though I have my doubts) story where a woman complained of itching in her netherlands after she used a contraceptive cap. The doctor asked her what type of spermicidal jelly she'd used and she responded "grape".

I was impressed. It's extremely rare to see counter-jokes from females when it comes to such a pathetic form of humour.

Now that Ali is posting at OT, I must vote her in the HoF. :/

...somehow, I have a feeling that this thread is slightly off-topic, even considering the name of this forum...

A rapist is a person who forces others to have sex against their will.

A rapier is a sharp dagger/sword.

Unless you are joking about raping somebody (hardly a laughing matter), I believe the phrase you were trying to use was "rapier wit."

"Rapist wit" is a humorous malapropism of the term "rapier wit." It isn't a real phrase, just a joke.

"Obiwan looks like Alec Guiness."

All I shall say to such a statement is this:

Avatars are often not the image of ourselves as we are, but the image in which we want to present.
