So my roommates are crazy. One just starts cackling after everything I say. I mean I know I'm super hilarious, but when I'm trying to be serious she just starts laughing. Meanwhile, a different roommate is belting out "Hey Soul Sister." Of course she sounds wonderful, because she is super hyper. (the fact that she's not close to the original key is also fabulous.) Finally, the responsible one doing her homework.
Something I have realized about our apartment, we tend to make That's What She SAID jokes...a lot. So I decided to look up some of the "rules" on this and what I found was super entertaining. I googled it, and this is some of what I found.
The "That's What She said" etiquette;
1.) You cannot TWSS after your own sentence.--you sound like you are trying to set yourself up
2.) Your TWSS must be tasteful! Just because there is a single suggestive word in your sentence, doesn't mean a TWSS is applicable to what you're saying. I see this way too often! For example:
Tom: "I went to the ice rink today, and I kept falling because it was so wet."
Dave: "That's what she said. haha."
BUZZ- invalid! Dave just committed a TPV (tasteless pun violation.) Why? Because Dave decided that would be a good TWSS just because the word "wet" was in the sentence. But in all reality, the spirit of the TWSS is dead in that response, and he loses TWSSC ("that's what she said" credibility.) Why? Because if "she" really said, "I kept falling because it was so wet," that doesn't make sense in a sexual context, and thus, an ISSC (invalid "she said" context) resulting in the TPV for Dave.
Had the conversation gone as follows, Dave would have make a successful TWSS remark:
Tom: "I went the ice rink today, and let me tell ya, it was so wet and slippery in there, that I had to cling onto the pole right away!"
Dave: "That's what she said. Haha."
That's a great example of a well executed TWSS, for obvious reasons.
3.) You cannot get overly excited in your TWSS execution!
4.) Do not overuse TWSS! you start to lose your credibility when you overuse/misuse. Plus people will enjoy it less if they are constantly talked about.
Thanks to "Rainman" for these rules. I really enjoyed it.

FINALLY It's Baseball season. Today was opening day...and tomorrow is the TWINS GAME! :) I'm so pumped. I have been waiting for this day for a very very long time. On April 1st. April fools day, I wonder if anyone is going to pull anything over on me. I really hope not, because I will probably fall for it.
I'll show you April fools day
