Or Are You Just Happy to See Me?: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

 

Bob is a private detective. He's sitting in his office and waiting to meet his client, Alice. Bob has never met Alice in person before; he's only spoken to her on the phone. He has seen a picture of her before and, well, he ...likes what he sees. The door to his office opens and he [[Double Entendre|stands up]]. In walks Alice. Alice is extremely beautiful in a [[Gaussian Girl]] or [[Hello, Nurse!]] sort of way. Bob tries to [[Double Entendre|keep his excitement down]] at meeting this gorgeous woman and tries to remain all business. Alice, however, is all too aware of the sort of the effect she has on men. Noticing the look on Bob's face... and Bob's ''pants'', she offers a sweet, sultry smile, and says, ''"Why detective, is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"''
