My husband keeps coming out with... well, not zingers. More like oddities. The other night we were discussing hybrid vehicles and Gordon said,
"You can put a battery in a lead duck but it still won't float."
Two days later, I still can't figure it out.
But my best (for weirdness) "quote" ever was a snippet of conversation I overheard in the Taco Del Mar restaurant in Mission, BC. One young man said to his friends,
"...and then he jammed a banana right in his eye!"
Two years later, I haven't figured that one out either.
Perhaps that is for the best. The mind boggles doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout this one from my 3 yr old granson, (very indignant), "Mommy. . .you make me."
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite conversations with my 14yo daughter:
ReplyDeleteMe: I need to get more stuff off Duncan.
K (daughter): What?
Me: I need to get more stuff off Duncan.
K: What?
Me: (getting pissed off now) I NEED TO GET MORE STUFF OFF DUNCAN!
K: I heard you the first time!
Me: THEN WHAT WAS WITH THE "WHAT"?
K: You were looking at me!!
Dear God, help me survive the teen age years.
Perhaps Mr C read that keeping a little mystery in a relationship is healthy for it. :)
