Two friends have apparently been sitting around for more than an hour and have not yet settled on something to do. Thus, one grabs some sort of all-encompassing rule book that offers a solution. Crisco is a brand of shortening, which is commonly used for any fat that is solid at room temperature. In this instance it's implied that it's being used as a sexual lubricant.

Transcript

Cueball: So what do you want to do?
Friend: Still no ideas.
Cueball: Wait, I think there's a rule about this.
[Cueball goes to bookshelf and removes a book called "Rules".]
[The book of rules is opened to the following:
RULE social.b.99.1
If friends spend more than 60 minutes deciding what to do, they must default to sexual experimentation.]
[Cueball is standing, holding the book. The friend is in the process of standing up.]
Cueball: Huh.
Friend: I did not know that rule.
Cueball: Me neither.
Friend: I'll go get the Crisco.

Discussion

- I think it went along the lines "if two persons share an eye contact longer than X seconds they are either going to fight or fuck." 108.162.231.67 16:30, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

- The author of this "explanation" is clearly heterosexual and not particularly kinky. Crisco is COMMONLY used as a sexual lubricant for the act of anal fisting, particularly in the gay community. ~ Remy

- Perhaps we could replace "is not commonly used as a sexual lubricant" with "is not intended for use as a sexual lubricant". --198.41.235.203 15:56, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
- Commercial lubricants are still more common. The fact that you refer to something as both kinky and common makes little sense. -- Flewk (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

- oh gosh should we warn those commenters from 2019 about covid? 22:42, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
— No, we shouldn't violate causality like that. And what would they be able to do anyway? Stock up on toilet paper? 108.162.241.31 13:54, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Used to be a thing, the only signed comment is from 2015, and Remy’s is probably earlier. Netherin5 (talk) 17:09, 13 March 2019 (UTC)

I think it's an allusion to The Rules: Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right book. 162.158.102.150 08:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
