This troper once received a fortune in a cookie which read "Travel an unpaved road with a new friend." Being an avid road-tripper, you can guess how he interpreted that.

This troper was once helping his wife with the chores. When she brought in the clean sheets from the laundry, I offered to help her make the bed. She quipped back, "And after you make your bed, you can lie in it." So, as soon as we were finished, I stretched across the bed, smiled up at her and said, "Gee, honey, you look like you've lost weight." (It took her a moment to figure it out ... and several hours to forgive me.)

This troper once had this conversation regarding his internet connection with his friend. #QUOTE# Troper: ''My internet connection is crap right now.'' #QUOTE# Friend: ''Ahh, I know the feeling. The same thing happened when I got a new wifi. We couldn't hold connection for more than a minute.'' #QUOTE# Troper: ''No, I mean my modem has literally turned into a heaping pile of fecal matter, probably that of some animal species.'' #QUOTE# {{Beat}} #QUOTE# Troper: ''I just Google'd it. It's an aardvark. It's aardvark feces.''
