TOP TEN STAR WARS-ish THINGS TO SAY WHEN YOUR PARENTS MAKE A
SURPRISE
VISIT TO YOUR HOUSE/DORM:

10. "Exciting is hardly the word I would use."

9. "Unexpected this is, and unfortunate."

8. Gesture around the room and say to your roommates, "If they don't go
for this, we're gonna have to get outta here pretty quick."

7. Say to them as they come through the door, "You've got a lotta guts
coming here after what you pulled."

6. PARENTS:  "Hi, we just stopped by to see if you would join us for
lunch." Reply with "I'll never join you!" (distort face) and throw
yourself down the nearest shaft.

5. Ask them for money.  If they question why they should give you
$(fill-in-amount), have a friend yell, "Because he's holding a thermal
detonator!" (everyone dive for cover)

4. If they ask why the place is such a mess, reply with, "Your eyes can
deceive you - don't trust them. I've let go of my conscious self and
acted on instinct."

3. "I've got a bad feeling about this."

2. "Lock the doors, and hope they don't have blasters!"

1. If they ask how school is going, say "When I left you, I was but the
learner, now I am the master."
