“Oh, great. You’re quoting Fight Club… It’s sad you didn’t get that movie. Its message is that people with your attitude are way extreme. There are many things in the movie that could have told you that, but the exploding skyscrapers in the end definitely should have.”
Inappropriate and Arrogant
A: I’m bored! Tell me a joke.
B: I’d rather not.
A: Why?
B: They say my humor is inappropriate and arrogant.
A: Come on! How bad can it be?
B: Don’t say I didn’t warn you…
A: I’ll risk it!
B: Ok. Isaac Newton was studying relativity theory at the University of Boston.

C: Right, one So Happy Together* coming up…

C: Right, one So Happy Together* coming up…
*And if it doesn’t show; I hate that one… whenever I see characters finding love I’m thinking, ok, one of them is going to die… Whenever they don’t die I’m elated that someone was thinking an original thought…
A Bouquet to Die For
This bottle of red rum is a rellik. It’s a bouquet to die for!
Subconscious Unconscious
As a submariner I’m always subconscious at work… however, I also get a lot of help from my unconscious.
Heavyweight Hair Pulling
“People may think hair pulling is lame, but when we do it, it results in bloodshed and black eyes…”
“Black eyes?”
“Yeah, if you use your feet for leverage…”
This isn’t how I remember it, it must have happened in a parallel universe…
This isn’t how I remember it. Obviously, I’m from a parallel universe where what I remember is true and now I’ve moved to this one where it isn’t. That must be it! Yay for me and my perfect memory!
