We're a laugh a minute

It's not just Pippa that says fun things - I think T and I are pretty quotable, too!  Here are some of the gems I found saved on my phone.


Me, my mom, and T talking about high school hair styles. T had bleached hair in high school and so did brother W.
Mom: "You guys are same-ies!"
Me: " Not really.  W does things like runs Ragnar and we do things like visit Europe."


From the start of August 2014 when I was pregnant with Roxy:
S: "I can't believe I have group b strep!"
T: "Ain't no thing. A little pokey, pokey; drippy, drippy." (in reference to the IV antibiotics I would have to get when I went into labor)


While watching the Italian ice dancing team do a lift thing in the team competition of the Sochi Olympics:
S: "She looks like a boat lady."
T: "Yeah, she does.  I think they are called hookers."
(for the record it was similar to this move and on a boat the carved lady at the front of a boat is called a figurehead and that is what I meant! photo source here)

T telling me about some article he read: "Back in the early 1900's there was a meat shortage."
S: "What - did we just run out of things to kill?  I don't understand."


When we were in Germany on our way back to Munich from visiting Zugspitze we passed a sign that read "U.S. facilities to the left"
S: "What - like drinking fountains?"
T: "It's probably the base."
(Public drinking fountains in Europe are not a thing. We saw ONE in Vienna the whole time we were in Europe. So it's not completely crazy to think a U.S. facility would be a drinking fountain... right?...)


From May 2013 talking about all those cruise disasters in the Caribbean.
S: Yeah, but those were just major inconveniences. The one in the Mediterranean that's the one people died on. And death is the most major inconvenience. "


T: "Hank Marvin is British slang for hungry."
S: "Hank Marvin? Who's he? A famous guy who starved to death?"


T: "I was just thinking of "The Man in the Iron Mask"."
S: "Oh, is that the one with Leo Dinardo Dicaprio?"


On why I often get asked for directions.
S: "I'm a non-threatening semi decent looking woman of a certain age."
T: "That would be a good biography title."
