My friend and I are at a movie theater at the midnight opening night release of ‘The Force Awakens’, so the atmosphere is buzzing. We’re buying some concessions, and I spot my friend talking to an older guy. They have a friendly chat for a few minutes before saying ‘bye’, when my friend then walks back over to me, smiling.

Me: “Who was that?”

Friend: “That’s my college professor.”

Me: “Oh, cool. Why are you smiling so much?”

Friend: “Yeah, I have a class with him tomorrow morning. He told me he better not have to ‘force awaken’ me due to my lack of sleep.”

Me: “That’s… a terrible dad joke.”

Friend: “That’s what I said, but terrible dads are kinda par for the course for Star Wars, so it fits.” *Shrugs.*

We laughed and enjoyed the movie. We saw his professor again on the way out, and he said, “Goodnight, younglings!”
