25 November 2011: KABOINNNNNNNG!

[Hexr]

Sara is unlikely to do anything like run away to Vermont and get married.

I suddenly realize this expression will outlast the United States.

In a distant future...
"And don't do anything rash while we're gone. Like, run away to Vermont and get married. What does that phrase mean, anyway? Why travel to Vermont to marry?"

I'm guessing that it's one of the few US States that allows gay marriage.
It's like warning a heterosexual couple not to run off to Vegas or Tahoe to elope and get hitched.

I think you kinda missed my point. So I'm going to break my own rules and explain the joke.
See, the keywords are "In a distant future". In the future in which gay marriage is legal "from sea to shining sea" as the Americans say, the expression will still remain. So basically, playing on Mr. Brightside's comment on the expression outlasting the United States.
Do you see now why it's funny? No? Maybe if you squint a little? (Though I think I've made that joke already...)

Oh, and

I love you, Hexr. XD Are you in my harem yet?

As for the "whole nine yards," I thought it was from a sports thing? I know jack-all about sports, though, so I could totally be wrong.

Love you too. Especially your phrasing. "Are you in my harem yet?" And no, not yet.

Do you wanna be? ;D

I thought you would never ask!
(In case someone misses the importance of the occasion, I *seriously* dislike smileys, and use them only when absolutely necessary.)

You're also overlooking the premise that Mr. Brightside could've been talking about the the US disintegrating into separate parts, and that therefore the expression might literally outlast the US.

Maybe Sara and Lisa are at the Women's Studies building?

Is that where one studies women through observation?

If it is, where do I sign?
Edit:\\ That sounded much less dirty in my head.

Only God could write Her signature on a woman. But She's too modest to do that.

Edit: Damnit, I could have made the same joke much more elegantly by saying "Women already have God's signature written all over them".

Sadly, God used a leaky pen.
