What’s your best “Sudden Soundtrack Stop” line?
“You’re obtuse; it’s at least 91 degrees!”
If you currently have a smile on your face, congratulations, you’re probably a math nerd. The above pun angles to be a perfect line to shout out just as a room becomes deafeningly quiet, such as when the music abruptly stops at a party—the “Sudden Soundtrack Stop.” If you’ve seldom been to a party, condolences, you’re probably a math nerd. Just as all loud noises cease, some comedian in the room will usually yell something vaguely sexual or potentially embarrassing—a seemingly private conversation intentionally broadcast to everyone. If you desire to be the individual demonstrating acute wit, but wish to deliver a thinking man’s pun, you can hardly do better than this quip. The line first popped into my head about 5 seconds after I was told the following joke:
“I told my wife it’s cold and asked if she’d turn up the temperature. She said I should go stand in the corner—it’s 90 degrees.”
Not to be outdone by her husband, surely the wife responds with something like this:
“I’m not obtuse; I’m acutely aware of your narrow degree of comedic chops.”
