Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.

 

Me: "Telephone call for Sarah*. It's a boy."

Wife: "As soon as she gets off the phone, call Bill, Brian and Hank, and tell them to break out the sharp objects."

Sarah: "MOM! DAD!"

Me: "I'll just text them, it's faster and I won't have to wait for the phone."

Sarah (to boy on phone): "Dad's calling his friends with the swords. You better run before he finds out your name."

 

(All names have been changed. 'Sarah' is my younger daughter, and now 17. Bill, Brian and Hank are Navy buddies. Hank collects weapons.)

Coder: When we move to our new office, I hope they put our desks next to each other. I'm tired of walking all the way over here when I have a question.

Me: What are you talking about? Walking over here is the only exercise you get!

Coder: I know, and it's more than I need. Don't they know I'm a computer programmer? It's bad enough they've got me next to a window where I can see the sun!

 

:rofl:

Description of the current Rapture-mania- "I feel like somebody who had the option to playtest a MMORPG, and opted out. and now this whole world of people are freaking out that the server is going down and I'm considering whether or not gelato is an acceptable substitute for lunch."

I was going to ask how you could possibly be injured by friendly fire while serving on a firing squad....

 

Then I remembered some of my own experiences in the military.

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.

 

I may have posted this already -- it happened a while back.

 

Me: "I gotta go back to the store... I forgot to buy deodorant and I'm almost out."

 

Ex-girlfriend: "I'll alert the media."

 

Me: "If I run out of deodorant, you won't have to."

 

Heh. You just reminded me of a scene from the GI Joe cartoon (I know this is the wrong thread for it, but indulge me on this one):

 

Mainframe: Remind me to talk to you about your deodorant.

 

Beachhead: I don't know what you mean. I don't use deodorant.

 

Mainframe: That's what I wanted to talk to you about.

In an on-line discussion about a $2,000 bottle of congac on display in an otherwise low-end liquor store:

 

Them: "At some point, it becomes about status rather than taste. Same goes for any luxury consumable."

 

Me: "Occam is calling. He wants his razor back."

"Occam is calling. He wants his razor back."

 

So if Occam is calling for his razorback, that would be an example of hog calling.

Co-worker: I'm planning on taking the kids to the movies this weekend.

Me: What are you going to see?

Co-worker: Not sure. My kids'll be happy as long as there's lots of noise and people falling down.

Me: ...And that's just the folks in the theatre!

Feeble attempt at humor:

Sign on pharmacy: "High School students are required to have two shots."

 

Me: "Aren't they a bit young to be drinking?"

 

Mom was reminiscing about her childhood:

"Daddy was bringing the mule in from plowing. My brother Loy was running after him shouting 'Daddy I wanna ride Old Blue! Possum! Possum! Possum!'"

 

"I reminded him of that a few months ago and he explained 'I was cussin' '.

"...so traffic was really bad coming back from the airport."

 

"Daddy? Did you fly in an airplane when you were at the airport?"

 

"What? No, I was just visiting people by the airport, I didn't actually go to the airport."

 

"Did you fly in... a helicopter?"

 

"No."

 

"Did you fly in... a space shuttle?"

 

"What?"

Re: Quote of the Week From My Life.

 

Yep, been there, done that.

 

My eldest was about 2-3 years old when my wife informed me that our darling, cute little girl told her day care provider to "shut the f*** up." Of course, we were apalled, and I secretly blamed the day care provider's young son, who was a bit of a hellion, for likely teaching her that word.

 

A few days later, I was at home and our dog, who was vastly overprotective, was going frantic and barking uncontrollably because somebody dared to walk past our house. After calling the dog's name (Downie) a time or two to try and get her to stop barking, I finally got frustrated and said, "DOWNIE! SHUT THE FU... ooooooh, crud."
