Here’s mine:

My first serious boyfriend told me he got “sperm retention headaches.” He had to have sex regularly or he’d get a migraine. :rolleyes:

Luckly, I didn’t fall for this line, but its the most orginal one I’ve ever encountered.

The mans a genius!might file that one away for future ref.

If you burn your finger put it against something hot.

When doing some last minute cramming outside the examination room “Its too late for that ,if you didnt know it when you got up this morning then you wont know it during the exam”

You can train through injuries.

Barking dogs dont bite.

Kids are all computer Whizzes and are much more innovative then adults.

I drive better when I’ve had a few.

“Well at least it cant get any worse”,said when you are surrounded by some of the most terrifying shit you’ve experienced in a lifetime of terrifing shit and it DOES get alot worse.

Its too cold to snow.

“You are more mature now, but in a few years the boys will catch up!”
Yeah, I’m still a little pissed about that, and I’m still waiting! :dubious:

Oh, that reminds me of one that I, my mother and my grandmother all pulled on my son. I suspect we’ll do the same to my daughter.

When he was little, he used to love to go with us to “The Toy Museum”. Y’know: The one with the backwards “R” in the name. Kept him from nagging us to buy him crap for years, yet we could follow him around and write down everything he especially liked and get it for him later.

Okay… I really admire this, but I’ve got one nagging question. How did you get him out of the ‘Museum’ without realizing that a lot of other people seemed to be buying stuff??

Good luck with that!

We just went out the In door. Toys R Us has (or had) it set up so that the Customer Service Counter for returns (ahem - the “donation spot”) was at the entrance so you didn’t carry bags through the store. The exit was past the check-out on the other side, where we just didn’t go.

But the real answer is that once people accepts a Reality, they are unlikely to question it. We told him it was The Toy Museum when he was an infant. Who was he to doubt us? There’s a serious lesson in there about parental responsibility.
