Famed as the charismatic Han Solo fromStar Warsand the lead protagonist of theIndiana Jonesfranchise, the star has left an indelible mark on the action, adventure, and fantasy genres.

Standing out among those is one banter regarding broccoli that once had the audience rolling in splits.

Laying out the plot and sequences in his trademark calm style, Ford broke down the premise of a lady desperately trying to search for broccoli at a produce store. After being repeatedly told that the vegetable had gone out of stock, she kept coming back to the same worker and asked the same question again and again. A burst of patience after two such questions finally laid down an interaction, giving way to sheer humor.
“A few minutes later the same woman walks up right into his face and asks “How come I can’t find any broccoli? Where’s the broccoli?” He says “Lady, do me a favor will ya? How do you spell “cat”, like in “catastrophic?” she replies with “CAT” He says “How do you spell “dog” like in “dogmatic?” she says “DOG” He says how do you “fck” like in “broccoli?” a little confused, the woman replies with “there is no fck in broccoli.” “That’s what I’m trying to tell you, lady!””
