Quotables III

As I am standing on tip-toe in my "new" dress from Goodwill --
My brother: "Nice calves."
Me: "Thanks, they're genetic."
My brother: "So, not generic?"

After a brief explanation that physical exertion is not my idea of recreation --
Me: "But parasailing, I think I would like. It’s just the landing part that is disconcerting."
Co-worker: "That’s why they have hospitals!"

After describing my latest needles=nausea and fainting episode at the doctor's office.
My coworker: "Well, did you warn them?" 
Me: "No, I didn't warn them. What am I supposed to do, march in there and say, 'I have a needle phobia. I am probably going to faint'? I was trying to be brave! I hoped I could make it through."
My coworker: "I can appreciate that. However, you have a track record now. I think at this time, you could express your track record to them but also your hope."

(For some reason I found this exchange hysterical.)

My brother: "I have a small head. My brain must be very high functioning compared to most people considering that my head is so small!"
