I've been wanting to start a thread to share with you the funny things I hear on a daily basis, and am finally getting around to starting it. Tell me all the funny things you hear!
Today's gem (and it was said to me): "I want to hold it, I want to lick it, but I can't have it. Sometimes I just want to sniff it." Spoiler
The preceding statement was made to me by a friend, lamenting the fact she can no longer eat bread because of a medical condition.
What's the funniest thing (or strangest or oddest thing) you heard today?
"I want to see someone get bit by a Gila monster at the Grand Canyon." Spoiler
Said by one of my fourth grade students after a lesson about the Grand Canyon.

Well, that's not what I told him when he said it. Fourth graders are always a good source for odd quotes.

This thread makes me think of Overheard in New York. Foamy reads it and is always sending me funny tidbits from it.
"The Cheat is GROUNDED! We had that lightswitch installed for you so you could turn the lights on and off, not so you could throw lightswitch raves!"

- I'm always all right.
- Is all right special Time Lord code for really not all right at all?
- You're all irresponsible fools!
- The Doctor: But we're very experienced irresponsible fools.
Good post! People do say the strangest things sometimes!
I've not heard anything note worthy today but I did see something - I think I may start up another thread for the things you see people do - some are truely unbelievable.
"-People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes."
Here's one from my almost three year old. We were shopping when some older ladies who were other customers, started talking to him. After a brief conversation with him, they looked at me and said that he was a very nice boy. To which he replied:
"But sometimes I can be very naughty." with this big, evil grin on his face. And of course, he's right.
"The plural of antecdotes is not evidence."

My 11-yr-old sister was playing computer games earlier, and I overheard her say: Spoiler
Frizzle my nizzle
Should I be worried about her?

Auleliel, why would that worry you? I'm trying, and failing, to see what harm those words contain. Just honestly trying to understand where you're coming from.

I would be very worried. "Fo'shizzle my nizzle" is a much better and cooler phrase, even if it isn't as applicable to owning someone in a video game. She should get up on her vernacular sometime.
In all seriousness, if it's competitive I wouldn't worry about taunting. I've seen far, far worse - frizzle mah nizzle is pretty lighthearted and silly.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
