Smells like...
CT: Hey.. what's that smell in your office?
Me: Smell?
CT: Yeah, you spray some Lysol in here?
Me: No... I haven't done anything.
CT: That's weird. I definitely smell something. It almost smells like... cherries?
Me: Huh? Well.. I do have these empty cans of Cherry Coke here.
CT: *sniff* Yeah, that's it! Huh, that's kinda wild...
Me: Yeah.. guess I should be worried that chemicals in the empty cans are strong enough to function as air freshener.

REPORTER: I would rather be tied up to stakes in the Kalahari Desert, have honey poured over me and red ants eat out my eyes than open a Twitter account. Is there anything you can say to change my mind?

Marital Physics
[Sitting on the couch, watching anime]
Wife: Not to be a bother, but didn't I ask you to take out the trash?
Me: I'm sorry, the time just slipped away from me..
Wife: Well don't let me take you away from the TV...
Me: It's not that love... It's simply a law of physics. "A body at rest, likes to stay at rest". I'm ultimately performing as the universe has chosen for me to perform
Wife: Really... well I believe "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". What does the universe think my reaction will be?
Me: [slowly rising and stretching] Touché.... Touché
