During freshman year of college (yes, I still say "freshman," and you're just going to have to live with it), I was at lunch sitting with a guy I met in Calculus class named Norm Beemer. Norm had a bowl haircut, moderate acne, and Coke-bottle glasses.
I was lamenting to Norm about the inability to meet girls, talk to girls, essentially all things grouped under the category of "having game." I told Norm I would start going up to girls and asking them if they want to have sex. Sooner or later, one was bound to say yes.
Norm replied, "No, you can't be doing that. You've gotta be smooth with the ladies." He purported to have some wisdom, but it was time to leave for class. I didn't see Norm in action until a couple of weeks later at lunch.
This time there was a group of us at the lunch table, including several girls. Norm was holding court, and he decided to tell a joke. I don't remember the joke, but it had a long build-up. As he was telling the joke, he started cracking himself up. He was committing the comedian's mortal sin and got to the point where he had to stop telling the joke because he was laughing so hard. Suddenly, Norm ripped a loud fart that everyone heard immediately. This triggered laughter among the guys, and the girls displayed a mixture of embarrassment, nervous laughter, and outright disgust. The end result was far funnier than Norm's punchline.
Be smooth with the ladies, indeed.
