I've actually done the "That's what she said" a few times, in public...

[mjr]

Ok, first time I was at a supermarket deli counter. I think I ordered 1.5 pounds (.675 kg) of deli meat (roast beef, I believe).

Anyway, right before the lady finished slicing it all, it was a pretty big stack. There were a few people at the deli counter, and then I go and do this...

"Wow, look at all that meat! That's what she said!"

Then, another time, I was in a Tex-Mex restaurant and ordered one of their burrito dishes. The waiter brings it out, sets it down in front of me, and I say...

"Look at the size of that thing...that's what she said!"

My wife laughed both times...

Sounds like you got a burro instead of a burrito - hope you were hungry enough to eat a horse.

For those not familiar with Spanish, "ito" and "ita" are diminutive endings, so "burrito" is literally "small burro".

I've always found the "that's what she said" line a lot funnier if used by someone in response to something someone else said.

Example:

DELI PERSON: "That's a lot of meat you've got there."
CUSTOMER: "That's what she said!"

In this vein, I've used that line in public with friends, coworkers, customers, and complete strangers. Although I'm not nearly as bad an abuser of it as my former coworker, who got away with using this line constantly because (A) her timing for it was impeccable, and (B) she is an amazingly hot chick.

Since she's amazingly hot, maybe next time, just for the fun of it you can have her say, "That's what I said..."

But then again, maybe not...

Considering that (A) she's no longer my coworker, (B) she no longer lives here (she's off at school), (C) almost every one of the "that's what she said" responses she gives are centering around men, meat, or sausages, and (D) I live in a town known for its large and open gay population, I think not. As I often say, right island, wrong dude.

Drop by my job sometime.

The backroom is pretty much one big "That's what she said!" fest.

One of my favorite "that's what she said" moments comes from an old Chikara Pro wrestling show.

Context: tag match featuring a team called Los Ice Creams. UltraMantis Black & Chris Hero on commentary. One of their opponents slaps El Hijo del Ice Cream (the one with the cone-beard) in the head.

*slap*
Fan in Crowd: "Watch the cherry!"
Mantis, to Hero: (sotto voce) (snicker) "...that's what she said."

It was very subtle, and a surprising joke to hear on a DVD from a company that emphasizes "family friendly."

My store is like that too.
