Recent conversation with Brenda:
Me: A friend of mine lost his wife a few years ago. He's not that old and dreaded entering the dating scene again but he was growing a little lonely.
Brenda: Good for him - fingers crossed.

Brenda: Yay, how'd it go?
Me: Good at first because it led to her question, "boxers or briefs?"
Brenda: A leading question...

I saw a blue Toyota Rav 4 with a vanity plate SINGPLY. What the hell does that mean? StING PLoY? Go »
