I’m trying to think of an example. It’s really hard. That’s what she said! _rimshot_ ---

“Remind me to [whatever].” “Okay, don’t forget to [whatever].” “Not now!” I like to get those “remind me’s” out of the way early. ---

A few weeks back my wife and I dropped her car off at the dealer to be worked on. The guy in front of us was finishing his paperwork, looked up at the guy behind the counter and said, “Can you call me a cab?” I started snickering under my breath. ---

> [@HubZilla](#): > > “It’s an adverb” I’m so stealing that one! It’s become a game between me and the cashier at my school caf: he says, “What’s up?”, and waits for the brilliant (ok, less than brilliant) punchline. I’ve already done “the ceiling”, “the sky”, “that way”, “opposite of down”, “my mood”, “the temperature”, “the price of gas”, etc. I’m starting to run out. ---

I had a teacher that couldn’t go two sentences without making some kind of horrible pun, and it was always the same ones over and over. Somehow, though, the jokes never got old. So now whenever someone says “Let us…”, in my head I hear “…he said to the vegetable vendor”; or when someone says “Bear with me…”, I hear “…but keep your clothes on.” ---
