So…have any of you watched a movie or TV show where an attacker is threatening people with a weapon and someone pleads with him to hand it over?
“Give me the gun. Don’t do this.”
“It’s okay, just give me the knife. Please.”
“Give me the crowbar before you do something you’ll regret.”
It makes for some intense drama, no doubt…unless of course the weapon isn’t a basic one and has a complex name.
“Give me Excalibur. Please.”
“Give me the Dork Slayer before you hurt somebody.”
“Give me the Shadow Edge before something bad happens. I’m begging you.”
And just like that you’ve gone from dramatic tension to the audience busting up with laughter.
