As many of you know, I am a big fan of the highly acclaimed TV show, “The Office.” Over past few years of watching and re-watching my favorite episodes (nearly every episode is my favorite), I have added a plethora of new phrases to my vocab arsenal. The most famous of these phrases is Michael Scott’s signature tag line… “That’s what she said.” I use the phrase often enough (and find it funny enough) that I thought I would start recording the most memorable “that’s what she said” situations. Here they are:
Wed. 8 August, 2007
Scenario: Yoga class at Golds Gym. The instructor commented that my friend and I were two of a very small selection of men in the class (which, on a side note, we are only taking for health purposes… not because we are on ‘the prowl’).
The Setup: He said, “There are so many women that do yoga. It’s good to have more guys.”
The Finish:”That’s what SHE said.” (Snicker, snicker.)
Scenerio: In the car in Las Vegas on our way to the Las Vegas Lindy Exchange. There were 5 of us crammed into a little sedan. We had been driving for hours. We were driving down the Las Vegas Strip when Melissa presented the perfect situation…
The Setup: Oh my gosh! Look at that hotel! It is SOOOO BIG!
The Finish: That’s what she said! (Entire car erupts in laughter.)
The best part of this situation was that Melissa had no idea what had just happened. Throughout the rest of the trip, she’d use the phrase at random to try to get a reaction. She would then ask us to explain what was so funny about it. I still don’t think she gets it.
