POTC in everyday conversation
Do you use POTC in everyday conversation? Do you say quotes from it just to get attention? If you're like me and the numerous POTC fans out there, you definitely do! Just listen to this funny little story and then share your own experiences.
Me, my fiance, and his roommate are all having dinner together and somehow the conversation goes to books that have had historically been banned. Since I think in movie terms, I immediately mention Dante's Inferno, thinking of the movie "Se7en."
Meyer (the roommate): What's Dante's Inferno?
Fiance: You've never heard of that?
Me: It's about Dante and the poet Virgil takes him into hell and shows him every section, like people who do certain things get certain punishments. There are two follow-ups about purgatory and heaven.
Meyer: Circles of hell. That's cool.
Me: (being extra dorky and using one of my favorite Jack lines) The deepest circle of hell is reserved for traitors and mutineers.
Meyer: (loudly) Damn you, Jack Sparrrrrrooooowwwww!
I liked he understood the reference.
Has something similar happened to anyone else?
