“You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark’s in the water, our shark.” — Quint, Jaws

“Salsa shark. We’re gonna need a bigger boat. Man goes into cage, cage goes into salsa, shark’s in the salsa.” — Randal, Clerks

so…today, I see that a buddy of mine has Quint’s quote set as his Yahoo message, so I countered it with Randal’s quote.

A few hours later, I get an IM from a girl at work: “okay, i need to know about the sharks and the salsa”

I explain the quote, and why I have it up there — maybe my jokes are a bit one-sided if everyone doesn’t have the same buddies as I do. She counters with: “how come guys can remember every movie quote ever. my husband knows all those too”

The off-the-top answer I had: “there aren’t a lot of fashion options for guys, so we don’t have to remember stuff about clothes…it frees up space for stupid stuff”

I wasn’t trying to be sexist…you could replace fashion/clothes with just about anything, and the reverse is true as well. I think I have something there…
