    True story, I was at a summer camp hanging out with this one guy that I barely knew in 2008. Thought he was a total jock who only cared about sports, etc.
    When we were talking about swords and canes, I mentioned that one of my canes was made of Mahogany. At the same time, we both went "Mmmmmmahogany".
    Instantly, we both knew.

    I still like the mahogany bit. I never saw it as a "lol random" kind of joke, I thought it very much illustrated the character it was coming from. He's supposed to be this grand imposing figure, but he really just works a lame desk job, so he takes great pride in the quality of his desk even though it's not at all impressive in the afterlife, where the laws of time and space are thrown out the window. Then at the end he reveals that it's made from fire-breathing space trees and has magical properties, which IS pretty cool... except that he then again places his emphasis on the mundane aspects of it, because that's what he thinks is impressive.
