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?

I know nothing about football except that you should be drinking tequila while watching it. I suggest Mrs. Patty do the same next time. Makes it a whole lot more tolerable--and comprehensible.

I do in fact have a related quote to share this morning, from today's newspaper. It's from John Heisman, who I deduce was a football coach:

"Gentlemen, it is better to have died as a small boy than to fumble this football."

"this" or "his"?

The quotable father-in-law:

"I've had wine and now I'm resting" (he NEVER drinks)

The quotable missus, once again:

Oh look, they're taking their dog for a walk in a wagon (not realizing we were outside a veterinarian's)

The quotable students;

Guy #1 in contradictory team sport gear:

"My vertical leap sucks, yo"

Guy #2 in contradictory team sport gear:

"F'real?"

Guy #1 in contradictory team sport gear:
"F'real. I ain't jumped in like a year."

The quotable pregnant medical lab technician:

Her: Here, drink this. Put on these latex gloves first, though.
Me: Why do I need gloves?
Her: It's radioactive. You don't want to get it on your hands. Now drink up!

Oh god. Today in Science class we are doing and experiment with eggs in vinegar. The shell has totally dissolved, leaving only the egg membrane. Our class's egg is busted.

Shandy: Lord of Llamas and Sara Lou, you made our egg bust! (Of course, Shandy called us by our real names and she was teasing).

LoLlamas: I'm SOOO telekinetic. Darn.

Shandy: WHAT?!?!

LoL:Telekinetic. I have telekinesis.

Shandy (to me) : I'm telekenis! (rubs her head like a psychic does a crystal ball).

The quotable Mormons on their rite-of-passage mission on the subway:


Elder Harris (aka crew cut guy#1): Hello miss. We're here to spread the new gospel of Jesus Christ. We'd like to come to your home to do a presentation about what accepting the Lord can do for your family. Do you go to church at all?

Asian (ethnicity is relevant here) woman: *Blank stare*.

Elder Johannsen: Do you go to a Chinese church?

Asian woman: *dirty look*

Elder Harris: *speaking very slowly* Do...you..speak...eng...lish? Our church has lots of Chinese members in Toronto; we can arrange for the presentation to be in Chinese. Do you speak Mandarin or Cantonese?

Asian woman: I'm Korean you a**hole.
