Discussing Cheez-its with WebGuy Dave, Eric and Chris.
Dave seemed to be a little confused as to which cracker Cheez-its were.
Chris: "They're like Cheese Nips, but without the racial slur."
This then prompted Dave to add "Oh, yes, Cheez-its, Cheese Nips and the unsuccessful Cheese Chinks"

--this was a few years ago back in the college computing center.

Me: I'm still deeply amused by the phrase "large advertising medium."
Jessica: What, like Miss Cleo?


in regards to some Ad Copy I was reviewing.

"So I'm looking at the link that reads 'Street Names for Drugs of Abuse' and I think, 'why would someone name streets after drugs?' Then I realized 'Oh! STREET names'." --My friend Jessica at work

TV Commercial: "Erections lasting more than four hours, while rare, require immediate medical attention".

Mom: "That's gotta pretty embarrassing"
My Sister: "I would think so. Can you imagine going to the emergency room like that?"
Mom: "Yeah, it would be weird. It's kind of like the opposite of 'I've fallen and I can't get up'"

*watching teaser for a special on the last days of Christ, because of "The Passion Of The Christ" coming out*

Sister: "Oh for godssake, he doesn't need any more attention!"

--Two 40 year-old women outside a Billy Idol concert in DC

This was actually from a few years ago. Overheard in a shoe store.

Mother: "Now stop that, you know better than that!"
5-year-old: "No I don't, I don't know any better."

--This is the line that let my sister guess exactly who I was talking to...

This started after we watched the premiere of "Tru Calling"

Mom: "It's too much like that show about the guy who knew everything... What was that show called? It was on Fox... 'Meet John Doe'?"
Me: "Just 'John Doe'"
Mom: "Huh?"
Me: "Not 'Meet John Doe'. 'John Doe'"
My sister "Oh my God! That would be the best reality TV show EVER. 'Meet John Doe': A beautiful woman gets 14 profiles of different guys to pick one to have dinner with. The twist is: They're all dead!"
