Indecision

Title text: Hey, I don't make the rules. It's in the book.

Explanation

This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks.

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)
