Revenge on the Sixth
I chortled ('chortle' seems like the right world, since it sounds like a Star Wars baddie) at a snippet from Leicester Square. Apparently at the Revenge of the Sith premiere, the doorman asking for tickets was mildly amused when someone replied,
'You don't need to see my tickets. These aren't the cinemagoers you're looking for.' (Presumably the wag did a Jedi hand dance too.)
However, with 400 people in the queue, and approximately one in ten making the same joke, it began wearing a little thin in short order.
And when the sixth geek made the crack, the doorman did what any disciplined, uniformed, and precisely-trained member of an ancient and respected order would do.
He biffed him.
(The title joke, by the way, is my own. But I can't claim credit for the guy who suggested the film's UK launch shouldn't have happened on May 5. Wouldn't 'May the Fourth be with You' have been worth getting the reels delivered a day earlier?
