Footloose and Fancy-free in the Big City

A Mom to small children near the Lincoln Memorial: “We’re going to go see the back of the penny!”

 

Sandra: “So, I got an email from my friend Mary, the one who’s getting married… Oh wait, you know Mary—why did I just do that?  I zapped back to college where no one knows my high school friends!”

 

Sandra: “Yeah, Nik’s birthday is coming up.”

Billie: “We could get her some corn.”

Sandra: *confused look*

Billie: “Because it’s her fourth year in Iowa so she clearly doesn’t have enough.”

 

Billie (reading “Savage Love”): “Apparently, you can get gout from too much watersports.”

Sandra: “Eww!  That’s so gross, I’m never swimming again!”

Billie: “…”

Sandra: “Oh, you mean that kind of watersport?  Eww!!!”

 

Kerry (in debate): “It’s against the law in America to hire workers illegally.”

Sandra: “Did you just hear that?  That’s the best sentence ever!”

Bush (within the next minute): “The borders are much better protected today than they were when I was governor of Texas.”

Sandra: “No wait, the best sentence in the world just got replaced.”
