"Wait a minute, I'm not dead yet."

Akshually®, I just liked the intriguing paradox of your statement...your title as Nitpicker has absolutely nothing to do with anything here.

Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader were engaged in mortal light-sabre combat. Vader, realizing that he was beginning to flag a bit, decided that he needed to disengage in order to regain some of his strength. He hit upon the stratagem of confusing his young opponent.

Sabres crossed, they wrestled back and forth across the platform. Suddenly Vader spoke. "Luke, Luke, I know what you're getting for Christmas!"

Luke paused, confusion writ large upon his handsome features. "How can you possibly know that, Vader?"

Vader replied in his rasping voice, "Luke, I felt your presents."
