Cat Voices
Bizarre
After meowing at kittens:
"How come they never fall for it? I think if a cat tried to imitate a human voice I would fall for it."

Tall, grande or venti?
Funny
"Can I get something? I'm hungry."
"No, we're going somewhere else to eat lunch."
"Oh, that's ok. I'll just have a coffee then."
— A little girl and her mother in line at the B&N Starbucks at the Bay Street Mall (Emeryville, CA)
This was actually a very funny exchange because the little girl was only about 5 years old and asked for a coffee in the most reasonable tone — as if she drank it everyday. Her mother gave her the most incredulous look. I don't understand, though, why the mom got annoyed when the little girl didn't let up about getting a snack. After all, her mother was telling her to wait while she ordered something for herself. Not much of an example.

Halloween Comes Earlier and Earlier
Funny
"What is that??"
"A cannoli mask!"
My nephews (8 and 6) talking about a Halloween costume. Obviously, my sister is an interesting person. Indeed.

Scenes
Seen on S. 10th Street in Tacoma WA at 11 pm:
A large group of girls, all wrapped in blankets, standing in a small boat which was parked on a trailer at curbside. Just standing there. In a boat. In the street. At 11 on a Thursday night.

So does Jesus swing by at quarter to eight?

"..so tell him to come into work at seven in the morning, you know, when God does."

"No, no. I'm so gay--I'm gayer than the gayest gay you know."

"Can I have my soul back now?"
--my manager, on finding out she'll probably be fired. (For the record, it's bull; she's being fired for sexual harassment, specifically for 'a detailed discussion of anal sex which made two employees uncomfortable'. I happened to be there for the incident in question, and here's what it was: my manager mentioned she was partying with a local band, in particular the lead singer. One of the allegedly uncomfortable employees said, "Ewww. He's into anal sex!" My manager shrugged and replied, "So am I." And that was it. The 'detailed discussion of anal sex', all of it, right there. Plus, it happened about 9 months ago, so...WTF? I'm going to miss my manager, if they push this through. She was about the only cool one in the whole store.)
