No wait! I've got it! A humorous anecdote!

Two years ago, one of my friend Dave and his girlfriend were in his room with the door closed. Dave's roommate came home and was disappointed to find that he couldn't get in, so a couple of us decided to keep him company in the hallway. We were sitting around, just wasting time, when suddenly we heard Dave screaming through the very thin walls.

In some horribly and inexplicably mangled Southern accent, we heard Dave scream "I DON'T LIKE BURGER KING!" This was immediately followed by what the rest of us took to be a scream of ecstasy on the part of Dave's girlfriend.

The four or five of us in the hallway all looked at each other and started laughing. We all made sure that we had heard the same thing--yes, it was "I don't like Burger King." We decided that we could never ever tell Dave what we had heard because that would be much too strange.

Of course, by that very night, we were already taunting him. Kind of. Someone would mention Burger King when Dave was around--ask him how he liked it, that sort of thing--and Dave would stand there confused while the rest of us giggled like schoolgirls. This went on for a couple days until someone finally put Dave out of his misery and told him what all the Burger King joking was about.

He denied the whole thing, of course. "First of all," he said, "I don't shout things when I'm having sex. Second, it's really fucked up that you guys were listening. Third, I do like Burger King--" and then we all died laughing and Dave went into the bathroom.
