Or if you need it explained to you in Star Wars, here's a clip from 30 Rock about the subject:
Of course, this doesn't seem to be limited to the human species:

My favorite episode of 30 Rock by the way. I tried to find the whole episode for FCGeorge to watch because the video game/Amadeus tie in is absolutely gold. As a fellow Amadeus-phile he would pee himself.
That Amadeus tie-in is why I think this show is perhaps one of the smartest comedies on the air right now.
I think you can stream it online on the NBC website.
Typing of which, you should see the director's cut I have. It makes an incredible movie even better.
