Thursday Thirteen (11th)
I am known for my use of one liner quips and zingers. These little quips and things are stuck in my head. I don’t even know they are there until I will hear something that will cause them to fly out of my mouth. If my real life people were to read this then I am sure they would remember one of those moments when they were the recipient or were present when it happened. I don’t know why it happens but it does. I have actually used these and have so many that this will be a four part Thursday Thirteen.
Some people who I have used them on like them so much that they can’t help but remember it and find themselves doing the same thing. I love when this happens.
Telephone conversation:
Engineer or Customer: Talking really fast and in a panic.
”Slow down please; I only have a high school diploma, sir.” (Great deterrent for stopping them in their tracks provided they don’t know who you are.)
Today is Part One….
1.
Me: “I am having a Deja Moo.”
Tom: Don’t you mean a Deja voo?”
Me: “Nope, Deja Moo, the feeling I have heard this bull before.”
2. Next time you shave, try standing an inch or two closer to the blade.
3. Anybody who told you to be yourself simply couldn't have given you worse advice...
4.
Date: "Why don't you slip into something more comfortable?"
Me:"Why don't you slip into something more comfortable...like a coma."
5. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6.
Steve: "Are you getting smart with me?"
Me: "Am I getting smart with you? ....How would you know? "
7. It was an accident officer. I was cleaning my fingernails, with a hunting knife, and he ran into me, backwards, 17 times.
8.
Q: “Why are you snickering?”
A: I was having an afterism, sorry.”
Q: “What is an afterism?”
A: “A concise, clever statement I did not think of until it was too late.”
9. " Who are these kids and why are they calling me Mom? "
10. After someone telling me about their divorce…
Me: “My husband and I divorced over religious differences.”
Her: “Really?”
Me: “Absobloodylootly, He thought he was God and I didn't.”
11. Does your train of thought have a caboose?
12. I don't have a solution, but I admire your problem.
13. Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence.

The Deja Moo one was hilarious! I will definitely have to remember that one!

Have a great weekend.

These were hilarious and thanks for the word to use about the comment too late...

Great List! I loved them all!
Some very amusing items. I will be using 'afterism'. And wow, you have a LOT of TT posts!. My TT is also loaded.
rashbre
LOL! Very Funny!!! Thanks for visiting my TT today.
I'm so sorry but I wasn't able to view the right half of the post. There's this beige column about and inch wide going down the screen.
Those are too great!
I love #8 and #12. Must remember those.
Yeah, 124 comments but where are they the rest of the week. HUH?
All seriousness aside, they are very, well, familiar. :)
hahahha you are too funny! I love a quick wit!
Thanks for stopping by Snarkypants. Hope you have a great weekend!
LOL at #4!!! I'll have to remember that one :) Great list!
those were very funny!
Great list! I love #1...Deja Moo..too funny!!
Thanks for visiting my TT!
Afterism reminds me when I was in college, this line was original 50 years ago: "Hi, do you believe in the hereafter?"
"Yes"
"Well, then you know what I'm here after."
I linked your TT to TT - 13 Converts to Islam
For some reason there's a light colored bar behind your text in my browser so I can't read most of it. Bummmer too, because the comments make it sound really funny. :(
You have a great list. BUT, you need to get the award for the most comments on a TT! WOW!
My TT is up.
Sheesh, by the time I read all these comments, I forgot what I was going to say!
What fun! You had me LOL big time!
Happy Thurs and thanks for stopping by my T13.
Very funny! I think the best I ever came up with on the fly was "you know, when that voice in your head says "don't say that out loud", you really should listen to it..."
yeah, I had the same white bar problem as Geekwif... I had to sqint a lot to read it... Sorry!
Those are great! I loved them and still giggling.
Happy TT and thanks for visiting!
Super fun list. Thanks for stopping by my 13!
The line is showing up on Firefox only. If you can open with IE it is fine....I can't make the posts compatible to both browsers.
Sorry :(
Those are awesome... and would all be "afterisms" for me!
OMG!! ROFL - LITERALLY!!
#1 is PRICELESS
#6 is gonna be used on Pest (hubby) - soon!
Thanks for the laugh this evening! Needed it!
Your furrends @ The Kitty Cat's Corner
Totaly Funny.
Thanks for that!
#6 - be vague if you can't be kind. Truly words to live by. Loved your list!
Number 5 is absolutely the most wickedly sweet thing I've ever heard. I may add that to my email sig. Great list! Can't wait for the other 3 parts.
Two of my personal favs that I'll be happy to lend you for future reference/deployment when confronted by a person deserving of the following:
1) Are you a moron by birth or choice?
2) Your absence makes my heart grow fonder of your continued absence.
You've definitely got a couple of keepers on your list I need to remember ;)
I love them all. I was cracking up at each one! Expecially the divorce over religious differences! hahaha!
What a bloody great TT!
I loved #5 and #9! I think I practice #5 with family...vagueness is boring but safe. Gonna try #9 on my kids- and 'afterism' -perfect!
Jenny in Ca
I like the religious difference one. I am going to start saying that.
I ask my son to step closer to the razor all the time... in retaliation, he's grown a beard. Now he looks Amish. :D And 10 is definitely my husband and I. LOL
LOL! Great list. TFS
I've used Deja Moo before. :) and I think #5 is going to be adopted immediately into my phrasebook. :)
Thanks for stopping by my T13 yesterday. happy weekend!
Funny stuff. I hope they don't occur to me as afterisms!
Deja Moo! We called our oldest Goo because that was her first word. We have another, a mini-me of the first. Whenever #2 does something just like #1, we call it a Deja Goo, lol. Great list!
Great post - I will be using one or two of them in future!!
Deja-Moo ... I've actually used that one before!
However, I definitely need to remember that "afterism" ... I do that far too often!
Great lines, Raggedy! Have a super weekend!
You clever girl, Raggedy! I've already used a couple of these on my teenaged sons. Thanks!!
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
#8 and 9 are my favorites ;)
Have a happy weekend!
You are a smartie pants! I love it! Thanks for visiting my list.
These are GREAT! I can see why people would want to use them!
I may just use a couple myself!
I particularly liked the "coma" one! LOL!
*LOL* I especially like the one about slipping into a coma!
Great list! I look forward to the other 3 parts!
Thanks for visiting my first Thursday Thirteen list!
Great stuff. I like the Afterism.
Those are too, too funny! Every single one is hilarious!!!
Can't wait to read part 2!
Very funny list Raggedy!! LOL
I really liked #5!!
I came to read your TT but I can't. There's a big beige line about 100px wide running down the middle of your blog. I thought it was just my computer at work being retardedbut now I'm home and it's still there. Sorry!
Great list - and thanks for stopping by my TT :)
Lordy those are hilarious! Now if I can only remember some of them....
via Dana
Deja Moo. That's funny. I think I can use that!
