Group of 20-somethings, including an engaged couple, are discussing the appeal of boobs:
Unengaged chick: "No guy has ever been able to explain to me the appeal of boobs."
Engaged guy: "I don't think you can. But that's always been my favorite thing about [name of fiancee]. I love her boobs."
(Quiet laughter)
Engaged guy (very quickly): "And her mind."
(Much louder laughter, especially on the part of the fiancee. I genuinely believe this will be an awesome marriage.)
