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](#): > > 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. ---

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…” ---

> [@Sternvogel](#): > > For those of you unfamiliar with the _oeuvre_ of Bill Engvall, [here’s your thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=254146&highlight=Bill+Engvall). 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.]
