Line 75:
* In ''[[The Ipcress File]]'', secret agent Harry Palmer is being sent away on attachment to Major Dalby's unit by his dour boss Colonel Ross. Before he goes Ross warns "Be careful with Major Dalby. He doesn't have my sense of humour". When he arrives, Major Dalby warns "Be careful with me. I don't have Colonel Ross's sense of humour".
* In ''[[Heathers]]'', the psychotic J.D. plants a bottle of mineral water next to the two [[Jerk Jock]]s he just murdered to suggest that they died in a gay suicide pact. Veronica thinks the idea is completely stupid. Three guesses what the cops say when they find the bottle.
* In ''[[Back to The Future]]'', the orange windbreakerdown vest that Marty is wearing shortly after arriving in 1955 is mistaken for a life preserver (which means he must be a sailor) by Doc, one of Biff's lackeys, the soda parlour guy, and Lorraine's mom.
* Invoked rather violently in ''[[The Departed]]'': [[Jerkass|Billy's]] in a bar trying to get in with the [[The Irish Mob|mob]]. He orders a cranberry juice, whereupon the guy sitting next to him says its a diuretic and asks if [[Menstrual Menace|he's on his period.]] Billy smashes his mug against the guy's head and is about to beat the crap out of him before mob lieutenant Mr. French separates them. He asks what's he's drinking: "What, is it your period?"
** Given that French observed the entire exchange, it seems more likely that his repeating the same line that triggered Billy's initial outburst is intended both to emphasize French's authority and to give Billy a chance to demonstrate his acceptance of that authority.
