True story.
Scene: The
Student Union. A bunch of students are waiting in line to get into the dining hall in the basement. One of them is a slightly dorky
compsci student. One of them is a
pot smoking hippy, who is
stoned, and his
roommate.
Compsci student:Hey! I smell
doobie! Someone's been smoking
DOOBIE!
hippy kinda shuffles, kinda grins uneasily. Roommate starts chuckling.
Compsci student(louder):Somebody around here's been smoking
DOOBIE! Hey, does anyone else smell
doobie? I think someone's been smoking
doobie!
Roommate laughs louder. Hippy looks around. Other people are kinda chuckling too, and looking at the hippy, who has
stoner written all over him, and everyone else in line looks like they came out of a damn
J. Crew catalogue.
Compsci student: Hey, I think the
doobie is over here! Hey, do you smell
doobie? Is someone smoking doobie over here?
Hippy:uhhhh...yeah, well, I kinda
smoked a little back in my room.
Roommate is cracking up at this point, and we've managed to attract the attention of basically everyone in line. Compsci student is totally oblivious to all this.
Compsci:Oh. I thought maybe someone was smoking
doobie right here, because, I mean, damn, it really smells like
doobie. I thought, you know, maybe someone was smoking
doobie in the building, because it smells really strong like
doobie.
Hippy:uhhhh...no, no one is smoking in the building.
Compsci:Oh, well, that woulda been really cool, if somebody had been smoking
doobie in here.
Hippy:uhhh...yeah. Ok then. Well, I don't think anybody is going to do that.
Moral of the story:If you say
doobie a lot, and emphasize it enough, you sound really funny.
