Sure. It's actually quite simple.

My realtor's last name = McCluskey.

Segue = Capt. McCluskey from The Godfather.

McCluskey, in The Godfather, told his men to "stand him up straight" before he punched Michael.

I extrapolated from that to perpetuate the pun into saying, facetiously, that she (my realtor) told me to "stand up straight."

Then I took it a half-step forward, since when one is punched in the face, one alledgedly "sees stars" -- which is a double-pun with the Hollywood reference ("movie stars").

Lastly, asking for a tissue, is a result just once seen in The Godfather film, but an ongoing issue for Michael in the novel, when he ends up with sinus problems, and ultimately needing surgery for such.

Get it?

I'm too witty for my soul (a play on Right Said Fred lyrics). rolleyes wink
