I wonder how Nice Guys came to have such influence over so many popular gender stereotypes. ”Oh, of course you know how to get whipped cream out of upholstery, because that trashy ho sprayed Reddi-Wip all over your apartment back in ‘98 … and there’s still some of it in your refrigerator!”

It's "What we got here...is failure to communicate."
