A neighbor of mine travels frequently for work.  He goes to many exotic places, and everywhere he goes, he tries to buy a vase and bring it home for their collection.  A few months ago he went to Taiwan.  He bought a large, bulky vase there, and had to carry it through several different airports during his 10 plus hour plane trip back.  When he got home, he was getting ready to place it on their shelf and turned it over.  It said “Made in Taiwan”, which prompted him to think “I carried this thing on all my planes and through the airport and I could have probably bought the fucker in Pottery Barn”.

My husband and I were eating dinner, celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary in a very, very nice restaurant in Las Vegas when the following conversation took place.

Me: “What are you thinking about?”

Husband: “There were two women sitting at that table over there and one of them was drinking a Corona, they got up to leave and I was wondering if they were lesbians”.

Me: “I was thinking about string theory“.

Both: Laughing much too loud for the super fancy place we were in
