Me: OK, I'm going shopping. I'm looking for a gun rack and Fels Naptha. You want anything else?
NYAB: (Shaking his head, with a confused look.) A gun rack and what?
Me: Fels Naptha.
NYAB: (Still shaking his head.) Fels.... what??
Me: (Exasperated sigh.) Oh, good grief. FELS! NAPTHA! Soap. Laundry soap. To scrub socks.
NYAB: (Rolls eyes.) Fels Naptha. Huh. It sounds like a Star Wars character. Django Fett and Fels Naptha.
YP: (Also rolls eyes.) No, Daddy. Fels Naptha is not in Star Wars.
and here I am going...gun rack?

Oh, yes. After ages of me begging for it, my parents finally gave in when we were visiting them and let me have this antique Civil War-era rifle that I want to hang in my Civil War-themed dining room. :D

My brain goes to "Wayne's World."
"A gun rack? I don't even have å gun."
[Not sure which diacritic mark you'd use to get the pronunciation that Mike Myers gives to "a," but I think the little circly ångström mark is close enough.]
