While looking for pictures of a certain band, I came across a site that had pictures from a certain concert. I thought they were pretty cool, so I showed them to a friend of mine. Turns out, she was at that very same concert. Then I showed her a picture I liked and she said “HEY! He is wearing the same shirt he did that day!” :smack: So my reply, as quick as a wink, “REALLY? Because normaly people in pictures change shirts. By the way, while they were changing, they got you a sign.”
flamingbananas, while I’m sure that your post is witty and urbane in the extreme, I must confess that I have no idea what in the hell you are talking about.
Congratulations, neuroman. Here’s your sign.
Thanks, neuroman, I thought it was just me.
For those of you unfamiliar with the oeuvre of Bill Engvall, here’s your thread.
We coulda said it to one of our marina neighbors last week. We were walking from the parking lot toward our boat, spouse with a bunch of hangers full of clothes and me with a laundry basket full of neatly folded garments. His comment: “Been doing laundry?”
I guess I’m showing my age when I say that my reaction was: “You guys playing cards?”
My brother walked into the office the other day as I was busily digging in the innards of the printer with a case knife. He asked me, “Printer broke?”
I said “No, it’s fine, this is just how you turn it on. Hang on a second and I’ll print out your sign.”
I suspect Bill Engvall read “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions” in MAD magazine a lot as a kid.
I loved the MAD magazine Snappy Answers. My favorite exchange:
“Oh, what adorable children! Are they twins?”
“No, they’re identical strangers.”
My favorite that I can recall was a restaurant scene, and there was a couple passionately kissing in one of the booths.
“Are they kissing?”
“No, they’re sharing a stick of gum…”
Ah. I’m guessing “here’s your sign” would be more funny if I’d seen Bill Engvall’s bit. From where I’m sitting, it just seems like a less catchy version of “you are the weakest link.” Heck, if I had a sign for every time I’d said something stupid, [insert bad punchline here.]
