Vulcans, Andorians, and the Sense of Humor
Highlight of the inaugural episode of the Star Trek game:
The brash young human helmsman had been making "That's what she said!" jokes intermittently since the crew first arrived on the starship. Responses: giggling from the Cygnan chief engineer, a gruff "I don't know what you're talking about" from the Andorian commander, and a stoically confused "Who is 'she'?" from the Vulcan weapons officer.
Much later, the commander got into an argument with a more experienced officer about proper safety protocol for testing new combat tactics, and said "I can see that we have very different ideas about experimentation!"
The Vulcan responded, in complete deadpan, "That is what she said."
...and, as the rest of the crew cracked up, "Was that correct? Did I do it right?"
