“Neil once got bitten by the bait when he was fishing.”
My sister discussing her husband
Me, telling my wife about how the in-laws brought amazing bagels from New Jersey, took them to the basement without telling anyone because there were too many, put them in the wine fridge which is not cool enough to preserve them, and two weeks later brought up a bag of moldy bagels that went straight to the trash:

“Juan had a dream about you, in English”
Juan is my Spanish colleague who is leaving today. I have had it confirmed that it was not blue.
“I’m having to drink my coffee through a straw, which isn’t good. It goes all up your ear.”
My mother, suffering with a gum infection and leaving me thoroughly confused.
“We can’t go to AireCon, we’re busy that weekend, going to AireCon”
“Winnie the Pooh kind of makes you a dick.”
