"Well, wear clothes you can move in, and if you're going to wear pants, get a rubber band for the right cuff."
"Yeah, I was planning on wearing shorts, which solves that. But not boxer shorts. That's the wrong kind of able to move."
"You're never having children, you know that, right? Briefs supposedly impair that."
"Yeah, yeah, that's not a bad thing." *turning to walk off*
"That doesn't count as birth control!"

Yeah, I should post more. See previously cited problems of working too much and interacting with the non-work (and therefore quotable) world too little. Working on it, though, don't give up on In Passing just yet...

"Apparently he had to talk her out of naming the baby Nintafiv."
"Is that... Norwegian?"
"No, Nintafiv -- like, "nine to five", I think. But then it was a boy, and he convinced her that would be too cruel."
"Isn't she actually Norwegian, though?"

"I say the directions were underspecified."
"Yes, but since I was the one who said, 'get a room', I thought you'd realize that I didn't mean mine."

"I hate to say it, but have you considered transferring your affections to a team with less of a suck factor? "
"No, see, that's the problem. Once the local guys lose, then I automatically root for whoever's the underdog."
"Oh, so you're screwed by design, then. You should reconsider that. Might be a less frustrating experience."

"Oh. Closet fans in mourning."

"At first I thought he was high, but it turned out he was just a Scientologist."
"Huh. I don't really know much about them."
"Oh, there's a lot there. I thought you were the religion guru?"
"No, the only unusual religions I really know a lot about are the ones that South Park has made fun of."
