The quotable missus, during the final quarter of the Super Bowl:

"Don't talk to me like I'm stupid, I get it so shut up. This is the last down, and a down is like a chance. If they don't move ten yards in the direction they want to go in four chances they lose possession of the ball. There a four quarters in a game. Stop laughing; you're laughing at me. Shut up. How many downs til they get the new quarterback? Oh that man caught the ball even though he wasn't a Chicago player, now he's running the other way. I think Indianapolis will win this game."

*will let this settle before he complicates things with CFL rules*

heard anything quotable lately?

The quotable 'likes to think he knows it all' chef from where i used to work:

Me: We have a vegan in Jon, what can you do for her?

Jon: Does it have to come from the vegetarian menu or can she have meat?

Stupid chef...vegans ONLY eat meat, like d'urrrr gosh!

Jonny: leave...home...now. Or, really screw with said sibling by buying him a black n' white TV and getting nuts with the screen with a pack of flourescent highlighters when he's not looking.

The quotable first time in a chinese restaurant American tourist guy: Are your spring rolls available in the summer?

Waiter: *three second pause while e thinks about his tip* Yes sir, we still have them.

Guy: I thought it was always winter in Canada. I'll take six, but I want them before the duck.

The quotable random young woman in front of my house, which is CLEARLY a house, the other day:

Her: Hi. Can I ask you a question?
Me: Sure.
Her: So, is this like an apartment, or a building?
Me: It's a house.
Her: That's so nice! Thanks a lot!

Yeah, but I'm totally polarized and I still don't know north from south.

The quotable friendly neighbourhood slogan of the day in front of a church:

"The ark was built by amateurs. The Titanic was built by experts. Think about it!"

That one made me want to send money to Tom Cruise. Good thing I was driving.

Quotable employees of a fast food establishment:

Male Employee enters bathroom, does business, and leaves quickly.

Female Employee: "You didn't wash your hands."

Male Employee: "So? I don't handle meat. I'm on fries."

Female Employee: "That doesn't matter."

Male Employee: "Yeah it does. Hot oil kills germs, so the fries are okay. They just have us do the whole washing hands thing so the meat handlers won't feel all picked on or something."

Female Employee: "Oh."

I'm scared.

I'm terrified!

My husband's grandmother, discussing an acquaintance:

"I know a lot more about her now she's dead."

Pause.

"I still like her, though".

Ugh, creepy. See what happens when CSI is too popular???

The quotable Canadian Public Radio, a few days ago:

"Steve explained to the police that he was an artist specializing in the intersection of art and science. He tasted the bacteria in the petri dishes to prove that they were harmless, but the police didn't find this explanation credible. They took his cat, operating on the theory that he must be using the cat as a vector to spread bacteria through the neighbourhood."

From the quotable missus patty, on New year's day a couple of weeks ago:

She: Nothing's open because it's New Year's, and I'm bored. Let's go for a walk.

Me: Okay, I like walks.

She: I need a hat. It's cold out. Can you look at what hats are available?

Me: *looks in hat box* Sure. There's a black and white striped one.

She: I don't want one. It's too stripey. Are there any others?

Me: Yes, there's one that's just like the striped one, but it's just plain black. Want that one?

She: I dunno. What does it look like?

The quotable guy picking food in the food bank I'm volunteering in right now:

Me: Okay, I can give you some canned fish. We've got tuna, salmon, a bunch of canned ham which is actually there by mistake, and some other stuff. I think it's sardines.

Him: I don't want any more tuna. I know it's free, but how much do you guys think we like tuna? I'm sick of it!

Me: Something else, then?

Him: Yeah. See those oysters? Yeah, gimme those. I might be homeless, but I'm high-class homeless.
