My friends and I speak inn a kind of tv/movie quote code. We’ve been known to have entire conversations made up of nothing but gems like those mentioned so far (and many many others) There are very few “great lines” I store in memory in case there’s a good time to use them, because I use them so often, but I long for the day I can look someone in the eye and say “your strength, his sword, and my brains, against 60 men, and you think a little head jiggle is going to make me happy? hmmmmmm?” ---

[QUOTE=bluethree] Read this in a novel once and was impressed: “Oh, did you rape me? I didn’t notice.” Said by a woman who had been raped years previously by a man she had an ongoing antagonist relationship with. Naturally, I’d never want to be in a position to use this line. [/QUOTE] In [_Yellowbeard_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086618/), when Madeline Kahn’s character is disageeing with Graham Chapman’s character about whether or not it was “a little cuddle” or rape twenty years ago, Chapman’s character says “I murdered you after!” Madeline Kahn’s character says “I seem to remember the afterplay was a little bit rough”. ---

Last week my principal took all the teachers out to lunch prior to the return of students this week. As we went and returned, the buses went through the neighborhoods that we draw students from. We were gone from 10 to about 1. When we returned, one teacher who stayed behind asked me, “How was your 3 hour tour?” I said, “The weather started getting rough. Our tiny _bus_ was tossed.” ---

My wife was on an express elevator with a man and a woman she had never met before. The man let out a huge belch and the woman said, “Burp, Charlie!” My wife started cracking up and the man looked at the two of them like they had three heads each. My wife and the woman became best friends after that.
