After a couple weird experiences with our lunch cashier:

Caroline: “He called me kiddo.”

Me: “He called me brother.”

Caroline: “…Ok, you win.”

I’ll be brief.

“I don’t think one should end a 5 page recommendation letter with ‘in short,…'”

Preservation

Me: “You never want to be at work.

Caroline: “Eh, sometimes…When the Wii is here.”

Me: “Well, everyone would enjoy work if they could play Wii all the time.”

Caroline: “That should be embroidered on a pillow.”

Could you be a little more specific?

Boss: “OK, what did you learn about Argentina?”

Girl: “There’s a lot of political activism there.”

Boss: “What do you mean by ‘political activism?'”

Girl: “It means there are a lot of people who are politically active.”

Boss: “. . .”

Maturity

Me: “Alright, I’ve got to go. Duty calls.”

Caroline: “Hehe, she said doodie.”

Fun with your Facebook status

“[Friend] thinks the symetry of the human body makes evolution look rediculous.”

Kim thinks spelling errors make your argument look “rediculous.”

Typical Monday

Caroline: “Kim, what are you doing?”

Me: “Emailing a professor. What are YOU doing?”

Caroline: “Making a cemetery.”

The first line of my memoirs:

“I was bad in the US, but I was good in England.”

Tourism

Kid: (trying to sell a free newspaper to Libby) “50p.”

Libby: “We’re not stupid.”

Kid: “30p.”

So true.

Read on the door of a toilet in a pub in London: “A toilet door without graffiti is like a pub with no beer.”
