(At school I’m in the band. Our director has a sense of humor and jokes around with us a lot. One day the following conversation happens.)

Director: “How many of you watch people play video games on YouTube?”

(Most of us raise our hands.)

Director: “Those with a raised hand, can you tell me why?”

(Again most of us raise our hands, and the director calls on someone.)

Student: “Do you watch football?”

Director: “Sometimes, why?”

Student: “Well, why do you watch football?”

(My sister is playing a video game when I hear a piano riff that plays when your in-game character dies.)

Me: “Did you just die?”

Sister: “Yup.”

Me: “It’s funny how I’ve already learned to recognize the sound of you dying.” *brief pause* “That sounds really creepy when you take it out of context.”

(I’m at a table handing out free samples and coupons.)

Customer: “What have we here?”

Me: “Chocolate truffles.”

Customer: *reaches for truffle* “Oh, I gave up sugar two years ago.”

Me: “Oh, that’s good!”

Customer: *pops another one in her mouth* “It just makes me sooo jittery. Mmmmm!”

Me: “I have a dollar-off coupon for them.”

Customer: “Oh, no, dear!” *pops another* “I haven’t had sugar in two years!”

(I am at an acrobatics fitness center where the staff members have a fun and funky sense of humor. I find this sign posted in the restroom.)

Sign: “Please do not flush the following down the toilet: paper towels, feminine products, q-tips, puppies and kittens, spare prosthetic limbs, hopes and dreams.”

(I am serving a family that has twins. Being a twin myself, I end up talking to them for a while.)

Twin #1: “I’m the youngest!”

Me: *laughing* “It’s usually the oldest that likes to brag.”

Twin #1: “Yeah, but it means he’s getting wrinkles first.”

Twin #2: “I’m only 19 minutes older, though!”

Twin #1: “Exactly. Those wrinkle-free 19 minutes are going to be great!”
