8.31- on the phone

"are you going to get another one?"

8.28- reading group

"It's worth your time"

-as we were trying to decide on a new book for our book group, Brian Daskam suggesting that I look at this book on Amazon. Unfortunately this now allows my wife proof of her superior maturity pointing out that a 28yr old man still laughs at arrows pointing at a pig's butt.

8.24- dinner

"why not call it Monkey Kong?"

-Ben Bryan being stumped when it donned on him that there were zero donkeys in Donkey Kong.


The best answer I found was on Snopes, saying that the Donkey was used to conjure up images of stubbornness.

“I don’t know a lot about Physics.”

-The guy selling salt candles response to the question, ‘Do these candles cleanse the energy in your home?” by someone who apparently has tried and tried to clean the energy in their home but is seeking a way to cleanse those deep hard to reach energy stains.

"Can I share you with my Hot Tamales?"

-Trying to give one of my RAs tips on how to pick up girls in a movie theatre, but accidentally playing the age old grammar game of putting the indirect object in front of the direct object.



"Can I ride you in my car?"

-Trying to recover from my first mistake, I decided to demonstrate to my boss that "all the cool kids" talk in that grammatical order, but dearly wishing to reconsider my chosen sentence as soon as it left my mouth.

8.20- suggestion

"do you have one for Texas?"

-a software support customer's answer to, "would like the software patch for north america or international".

8.10- meeting

-getting his PhD in philosophy and ever the gadfly, Kevin's question to a restaurant manager when he told him that they were open 7 days a week.

"yep...that’s seven days"

-the store manager, Thrasymachus, refusing to engage in Kevin's silly dialectical game.

8.8- Chicago

"I guess I'd give him a bath and throw in a toaster"

-Nicole's best guess of how to humanly kill a dog in a country where guns were outlawed.

This conversation took place after reading that because of a rabies scare China demanded its citizens to do just that to over 50,000 dogs last week.

8.9- Roden's

"true, but most of them negative"
