“I've got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?”

About this quote
The line uses blunt humor to turn an awkward or risky offer into something almost casual. Jokes can drop the pressure and prompt people to volunteer when a plain ask might fail. If you borrow this move, follow the laugh with straight facts: what the task actually involves and who will take responsibility. Be clear about the risks and what happens if no one steps forward.
When to use it
- During a D&D session when the party finds an active rune stone at the temple: "I've got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?"
- On a film set when someone needs to test a risky practical effect with a prop stone: "I've got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?"
- In an archaeology class demo where a fragile stela needs moving and the professor jokes to break the tension: "I've got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?"
- At a community restoration day when volunteers need someone to position a standing stone and someone cracks the line to get a volunteer: "I've got a stele we can use. Who wants to do me?"
